The Toronto Raptors trading away Norman Powell to the Portland Trail Blazers might’ve brought Gary Trent Jr. back, but one of the main side-effects of that trade is the fact that OG Anunoby, who is locked in as one of the core pieces for the new few seasons, is going to get an increased workload on the offensive end.
While Anunoby might elevate himself to the role of tertiary or quarternary scorer without Powell, but his value will always lie with his exceptional defense, as his ability to guard anyone and everyone on that end is one of Toronto’s best assets.
