OG Anunoby

With the top three picks of the NBA Draft appearing to be Jabari Smith, Chet Holmgren and Paolo Banchero – likely in that order – the real fun begins with the ...

At 6ft 8in now with guard skills and elite defensive upside, Daniels is perhaps the hardest player in the class to find an NBA comparison for. Think of him as a more athletic C.J. McCollum. With essentially the perfect body for an NBA wing at 6ft 6in and 220 pounds with a seven-foot wingspan, Griffin is yet to turn 19 years old, and shot a blistering 44 per cent from long range on 4.4 attempts per game in his sole collegiate season. Murray is a 6ft 8in, highly skilled scorer who will be able to fill both forward spots in the NBA, and figures to be a player who will be able to create his own baskets in isolation situations. Defense is the question with Murray, but he has the size and athleticism to contribute on that end, while the team that drafts him will hope he can fill a similar role to Milwaukee Bucks All-Star Khris Middleton as a low-maintenance scorer who does not need to be the centrepiece of every play to stack up points, but can also take over if needed. At 6ft 4in with tremendous athleticism, Ivey is a point guard that plays in a similar fashion to John Wall, although he is not the natural facilitator Wall is, leaning on his scoring and driving ability for his primary value.

Which, sure, he's a great player. Not much to that rumour so far. My guess is that it's just Portland leaking their interest in attempts to deflate the prices ...

Other reports are Toronto wants to move up, some that they want to move down — basically, it’s draft day, and nobody knows anything. More importantly, the Raptors have the 33rd pick in today’s draft! My guess is that it’s just Portland leaking their interest in attempts to deflate the prices of their real targets — Jerami Grant, already acquired, and perhaps also John Collins.

The NBA's hot stove is firing on all cylinders ahead of Thursday's draft and the Toronto Raptors aren't immune to the heat.

The Toronto Raptors have reportedly been linked to a trade that would involve OG Anunoby going to the Portland Trail Blazers.

Portland Trail Blazers are in pursuit of Toronto Raptors forward OG Anunoby with the No. 7 pick in Thursday’s draft in play, league sources tell@YahooSports. Bleacher Report’s Jake Fischer suggested that Anunoby might be unhappy with his role with the Raptors, with rival executives interested in acquiring him, including a link to the Blazers, who are likely to be active buyers this offseason. Yahoo Sports’ Chris B. Haynes reported on Wednesday night that the Portland Trail Blazers “are in pursuit of Toronto Raptors forward OG Anunoby with the No. 7 pick in Thursday’s draft in play.”

And all these are in addition to already having Jerami Grant in the fold. Should the Blazers acquire him instead, Dort could possibly be an impactful perimeter asset for the team. That’s a pick they can use on a number of promising rookies like AJ Griffin, Malaki Branham, or Mark Williams. he averaged career-highs in points, rebounds, assists, and steals this past season. On the other hand, should Portland fail to close any deal involving Anunoby, they’re willing to go after another up-and-coming wingman in Dort. The 23-year-old Canadian also had a banner year this past season with the Oklahoma City Thunder. Despite going undrafted in 2019, Dort has made quite a name for himself. Nothing is set in stone just yet.

The Toronto Raptors are seeking an "elite center" in any deal involving 24-year-old winger OG Anunoby ahead of the 2022 NBA Draft.

While Anunoby remains a possible trade target on Thursday night, and beyond, the Raptors have their sights set on landing a top-quality center in any deal. He is coming off a solid season for the Raptors, during which he averaged 17.1 points, 5.5 rebounds, and 2.6 assists. Now, Toronto has made clear what they are seeking in any trade for Anunoby. According to Bleacher Report’s Jake Fischer, the Raptors would only consider moving Anunoby in exchange for “an elite center.”

Fischer relayed that the Raptors remain interested in Rudy Gobert, plus they called on Cleveland Cavaliers All-Star Jarrett Allen at February's trade deadline.
