Toronto is taking a swing with the 23rd-overall pick in the NBA Draft, selecting Indiana forward OG Anunoby, according to the Vertical’s Adrian Wojnarowski.
Anunoby turns 20 in a matter of days and is regarded as one of — if not the — best defensive prospects in this year’s draft class. He stands 6’8 with a nearly 7’3 wingspan. Some analysts had Anunoby firmly entrenched as one of the top-10 talents in the draft, making this a potentially excellent value for the Raptors.
Of course there’s always a reason behind a draft tumble for a tantalizing prospect.
