13. O.G. Anunoby

13. O.G. Anunoby

O.G. Anunoby was a late First Round Pick (23rd) from Indiana, and in a mild surprise, he was logging most of the starts as a rookie.

Anunoby helped Toronto win the 2019 NBA Championship, and while he averaged the same amount of Minutes per Game that he did as a rookie, he did so off the bench, as the Raptors had Kawhi Leonard that year.  With Leonard departing for the Clippers afterward, Anunoby was again a starter, showing even better defense and finally breaking through offensively in 2020-21 with a 15.9 PPG.  He built on that with an increased 17.1 PPG in 2021-22.  In 2002-23, Anunoby took another leap, as he was the NBA's leader in Steals per Game (1.9), and earned a Second Team All-Defensve nod.

Going into 2023-24, the Raptors were in clear rebuilding mode and shipped off Anunoby to the Knicks.  Overall as a Raptor, Anunoby played 395 Games with a 11.8 PPG.
