Today at Yahoo Sports, Jake Fischer wrote about how the ’ trade for OG Anunoby “has shaped the NBA trade market.”
As Fischer notes, Anunoby’s defensive talents were immediately impactful in wins over Minnesota and Chicago, and OG demonstrated an ability to guard all five positions. After the game, he received praise from Timberwolves head coach Chris Finch, who called him, “One of the most impactful, versatile defenders in the league. […] I’ve seen him guard Damian Lillard one night, Joel Embiid the next.”
Anunoby is expected to test unrestricted free agency next summer. Contract discussions will be handled by his representation, CAA (including, cough, Sam Rose, son of Knicks team president, ahem, Leon Rose).
