Hustle Play: Chris Boucher and Thad Young talk Raptors, Lowry, NBA drama
Welcome to Hustle Play, a podcast and video series hosted by Chris Boucher of the Toronto Raptors and Mike Roach. On each episode, the two will chat about the latest news around the team, what Chris is up to away from the court, and bring on other players from the Raptors for an in-depth discussion.
On this week's episode, Chris and Mike sit down with Thaddeus Young to discuss what it takes to become an NBA veteran, OG Anunoby's future and what the Raptors have in store for Kyle Lowry's return to Toronto.
