Scottie Barnes struggles as Raptors lose big to Bucks | Top-5 prospects in the 2025 NBA Draft

Locked On Raptors - Daily Podcast On The Toronto Raptors

The Toronto Raptors fell big to the Milwaukee Bucks on Friday night in a game that made your brave host think all about the 2025 NBA Draft. In Episode 1789, Sean Woodley goes solo to talk about Scottie Barnes' struggles against the Bucks in the team's 130-112 loss on Friday, make his first swing at a Top-5 prospect ranking ahead of a the 2025 NBA Draft, and run through some other stray notes from the Raptors' 32nd loss in 42 games. Off the top, Sean talks about Scottie Barnes' struggles from three-point range, why no Immanuel Quickley means more Scottie threes for better or (usually) worse, Barnes still finding ways to be effective even in a 4-of-16 outing, and why without IQ there really isn't much left to learn about this team. Next, Sean ranks his five favourite potential prospects for the Raptors atop the 2025 NBA Draft, with thoughts on Cooper Flagg, Dylan Harper, Ace Bailey, Asa Newell and Kasparas Jakucionus. Lastly, Sean runs through The Good (Kelly Olynyk!), The Bad (the matchup with the Bucks) and The Hmm (Bruce Brown's eventual fate) to close out the show.
