Player Preview: Is OG Anunoby ready for a starring role?
Photo by Brock Williams-Smith/NBAE via Getty ImagesA year ago, I wrote a player preview for OG Anunoby. Entering the 2019-20 season at the time, Anunoby and the Raptors were in a much different place after the loss of Kawhi Leonard. The impossible expectation was out there that someone had to try and fill that role. Luckily for Anunoby, the burden fell on Pascal Siakam to take the next step as the team’s first option. Fred VanVleet increased his scoring and was the third leading scorer on the team while Kyle Lowry, Norman Powell, and Serge Ibaka all upped their offensive production from the season prior.
