Write Up
O.G. Anunoby was perhaps the most anticipated sophomore in this years draft, he received a lot of hype preseason due to his late season growth his freshman year. Anunoby specializes as a 3+D wing, he is the best defender in the draft and uses his athleticism, strength, length, and amazing defensive instincts to guard just about every position. While his 3pt% has regressed this season (31%), he shows a lot of potential of being able to become a reliable 3pt shooter. Anunoby is a hard worker, great athlete, and team player and while he is still very raw in a variety of areas (dribbling, playmaking, offensively), he has high role player potential and will be a valuable player for whichever team drafts him.
