The Raptors ask so much of O.G. Anunoby because they know he has so much to give.
They pile on the assignments — guard the best wing player on the opposing team, carry the offence when so many key pieces are missing — and he kind of shrugs his shoulders and goes about his business stoically, but in a determined fashion that sets him apart.
He was at it again Saturday, asked to guard the magical Luka Doncic and score enough to keep his depleted team rolling the scoreboard over. He got the assignment, fulfilled it and it’s on to the next game.
