A Royal Pain Prospect Profile: OG Anunoby

With the premier wings off the board, Sacramento should explore the risk of Indiana’s OG Anunoby. He underwent a season-ending knee injury in January but showed improvement to his overall game in his short time playing. Anunoby is the best defender in the draft and has a decent enough jumper to make him a spot-up shooter. He would have been a lock to be a top-ten pick if he didn’t suffer the injury and would present great value for the Kings at tenth overall. I do not like the idea of adding another big man to the fold, especially with a major need on perimeter defense. Anunoby continues their move towards a modern game.
