O.G. Anunoby spent the 2022/23 NBA season at the front of everyone’s minds. Whether you were the player he was defending, desperate to pass him or his teammates relying on his steady presence, or every GM in the league calling Masai Ujiri to see if he was available — Anunoby is finally the name everyone is bringing up.
The Raptors drafted Anunoby in the 2017 NBA Draft, 23rd overall. He quickly became a defensive powerhouse, coming off the bench in the 2019 championship run and eventually growing into a starting calibre player. Called “Young Kawhi” on multiple occasions, his defensive prowess and ability to shoot the three allows the comparison to some extent.
