Now two seasons into his pro basketball career, it’s not quite clear what exactly OG Anunoby can do for Toronto. It’s not impossible to envision what the Raptors would like for him to be able to do; we’ve certainly seen glimpses of various things he seems capable of doing. As a mobile 6’8”, 232 pound forward, his physical tools are obvious. But after a 2018-19 season that saw OG miss 15 regular season games and the team’s entire championship playoff run, the data we have is still inconclusive at best.
Given how Anunoby performed as a complementary starter during his rookie season in Toronto, and the confidence he showed in the 2018 playoffs, it would have been impossible to imagine a Raptors’ title run that didn’t include Anunoby in some way.
