OG Anunoby was the weighted blanket to the Toronto Raptors’ long, sleepless night that was the 2019-20 season.
The name Oguagua means “comfort me” or “the consoler.” What a fitting description for the third year pro. After a disappointing sophomore season filled with personal tragedy and professional shortcomings, Anunoby rebounded with his best season yet. While he was in need of consoling last season, OG spent this entire season providing consolation to anxious Raptors fans and teammates — with timely buckets that saved a stagnant offense, or defensive wizardry that stymied the opposition.
