Gradey Dick, Ochai Agbaji and Ja’Kobe Walter.

I’m calling this trio “The Vision.”

They all provide shades of a specific archetype the Raptors want next to Scottie Barnes.

They showed why versus the Clippers.

Scottie Barnes is playing All-Defense level basketball this month.

The Raptors are 6 points better on D with him on the court. He dominated the Hawks.

Broke that down + Orlando Robinson + the tank!

Immanuel Quickley made the Raptors make sense tonight.

But most importantly: He made Scottie Barnes’s life easier.

Broke down their connection + recapped the W.

Scottie Barnes was an elite table-setter last night — career-high 14 assists

Broke down how he’s balancing his playmaking and scoring on the floor.

+ Kelly Olynyk debut + Mogbo/Walter

[Esfandiar Baraheni @JustEsBaraheni]

Jonathan Mogbo attempted just two threes in his 4 years of college.

He’s taken 15 so far this season and made four. I watched him work on it for 1 hour after practice.

Broke down that + some fun stuff from him in what was otherwise an ugly game.

Scottie Barnes process throughout games is evolving and it depends on how defenses are playing him.

Broke down his career-high + recapped the game + talked about the tank:

[Esfandiar Baraheni @JustEsBaraheni]

Jakob Poeltl had his best offensive game since Scottie Barnes’s return to action.

Why? And does it relate to Scottie taking more threes?

Discussed that + Ja’Kobe Walter + Recap

[Esfandiar Baraheni @JustEsBaraheni]

The RJ Barrett-Jakob Poeltl two-man game was on full display.

Together they accounted for 64% of the Raptors points.

Broke down their elite chemistry + ALL aspects of the heartbreaking loss

[Esfandiar Baraheni @JustEsBaraheni]

Gradey Dick dropped another career-high and while SIXTEEN free-throws is unconventional for any player…

It highlights just how aggressive he is, attacking the basket.

[Esfandiar Baraheni @JustEsBaraheni]

Immanuel Quickley returned to the lineup for the Raptors!

Broke down how he and Gradey can weaponize their shooting + more

[Esfandiar Baraheni @JustEsBaraheni]

Davion Mitchell continues to make strides as a Raptor with the extra opportunity.

He’s already showing growth as a playmaker and his aggression was off the charts last night.

Good morning!

While Gradey Dick continues to impress on the offensive side of the ball, he has made some serious strides defensively.
