Last season could not have gone any worse for OG Anunoby. He was banged up throughout the season, played poorly when on the court, and faced off-the-court issues that are much more important than basketball. He entered the season as the Toronto Raptors’ cornerstone prospect but finished the year as just “a nice piece.”
He came into this year with every opportunity to bounce back. He was fully healthy for the first time in a while and back in a starting role. Anunoby was the trendy pick by many to be Toronto’s most improved player.
But it’s one thing to project improvement, and it’s another to see it on the court.
