What kind of guard should the Raptors target if they take one at 19? | Jared McCain, Bub Carrington & Tyler Kolek

Locked On Raptors - Daily Podcast On The Toronto Raptors

In Episode 1649, Sean Woodley goes solo to talk about the potential of the Toronto Raptors drafting a guard with their first pick in the 2024 NBA Draft later this month, and digs into the games of Duke's Jared McCain, Pitt's Bub Carrington and Marquette's Tyler Kolek. Off the top, Sean outlines the two boxes any guard draftee needs to check for the Raptors: high upside, and a good theoretical fit next to Immanueul Quickley long-term. Then, Sean details the game of the sharpshooting McCain, who is probably going to be an excellent shooter in the NBA -- but does he do enough else on offense to make him a viable long-term fit for the Raptors? Next, Sean talks about Carlton "Bub" Carrington, who at 6'5 with a very interesting pull-up game could have the kind of size and upside that makes him worth a swing at 19, even though the Raptors' more dire positional needs lie in the front court and on the wings. Lastly, Sean talks about Tyler Kolek, who while and older prospect, figures to have a pretty high floor as a long-term NBA backup thanks to his blend of rim pressure and dead-eye three-point shooting that would theoretically be a nice complement to Scottie Barnes in second units. But would he be more of a fit for the Raptors' needs at 31 than at 19?
