The beauty of Anunoby is his offensive struggles go largely unnoticed because of his defensive impact.

He was picking apart Precious Achiuwa, scoring 15 points in the opening quarter as New York trailed by as many as seven.

When OG Anunoby was the primary defender, Randle shot 1-for-6 with one assist, two turnovers and was frustratingly locked up. “I don’t understand how he does half of it. Sometimes when he guards like Tyrese Maxey, and he’s able to influence shots and stay in front of him, knowing Tyrese is fast as hell and OG’s not. … Then you put him on guys like Julius who is a big physical guy, plays in the post, and he’s able to hold his own. So he’s a monster to a defense all by himself and he should be a First Team or Second Team All-Defense, for sure. We’re comfortable with that matchup against him and anybody.
