The Toronto Raptors selected OG Anunoby with the #23 pick in last night’s NBA draft. We’ve written about him before as being a serious possibility with our selection, so his choice wasn’t a surprise. However, the talented swingman isn’t guaranteed to make our team (or even suit up in tryouts) this season, because his health is a major concern.
OG was enjoying an excellent sophomore season with Indiana University before a serious knee injury brought his college “career” to an abrupt end. I assume the Raptors are satisfied his health will return, otherwise Masai Ujiri would not have made the pick.
