In Episode 1180, Sean Woodley is joined by Vivek Jacob (Raptors.com) to break down the seasons of the Toronto Raptors deep bench trio of Dalano Banton, Yuta Watanabe and Svi Mykhailiuk. Off the top, they dig into Banton's hot start to the season and the way he petered out as opposing teams started to get the book on him. What does Banton need to do to become more than just a change of pace, niche player? And how could Pascal Siakam's first couple seasons be a bit of a blueprint for Banton as he heads into his sophomore season in 2022-23. Next, Sean and Vivek examine Yuta Watanabe's season, which ended disappointingly after he looked earmarked for a rotation spot up until het got hit with COVID in early January December and never really bounced back. Will he back back next season? Or will is pending UFA status lead to his exit from Toronto? Lastly, Sean and Vivek talk about Svi Mykhhailiuk, who never quite lived up to the promise he showed during the preseason, but is likely to be back on the team next year thanks to his player-option. Can he carve out more of a role?
