Why O.G. Anunoby is the Raptors’ greatest weapon on defence

O.G. Anunoby is quick and powerful and decisive in making moves that seem to be more instinctual than most.

But there is method to his madness and his effort, born of intense study, refusing to repeat past mistakes — if at all possible — and years of experience.

He knows who he is, who the opponent is, and carries himself accordingly.

It may look like he’s always gambling, jumping into passing lanes and being disruptive. But as the 25-year-old Anunoby talked about his defensive style Friday in the Raptors practice facility, it was obvious that he does his homework.
