OG Anunoby || F || 19 years old || 6’8″ || 215 lbs.

OG Anunoby played 16 games for Indiana, averaging 11.1 points, 5.4 rebounds, 1.4 assists, 1.3 steals and 1.3 blocks in 25.1 minutes. He shot 55.7 percent from the field and 31.1 percent from behind the arc.

Net Scouts Basketball, Reid Forgrave of CBS Sports, and Moke Hamilton of Basketball Insiders all predict Anunoby going to the Portland Trail Blazers at 15.

Anunoby tore his ACL back in January, which consequently makes him a wild card in the draft. Due to questions concerning how he’ll bounce back from ACL surgery, Anunoby is projected to go anywhere from late in the lottery to early in the second round.

Best-case scenario: Anunoby develops as a two-way player, using his strength, agility and 7-foot-2 wingspan to excel at multiple positions. For most teams picking in the middle of the first round, the floor doesn’t matter all that much when the ceiling is the roof, and Anunoby’s roof is sky high.
