When the New York Knicks first acquired OG Anunoby through a trade with the Toronto Raptors last season, many were unsure of his offensive capabilities.

There was hope that Anunoby could become the solidified third scoring option behind guard Jalen Brunson and ex-Knick Julius Randle heading into the 2024-25 season. The Knicks front office then re-signed Anunoby in the offseason, giving him the largest contract in franchise history at $212.5 million over five years. It’s clear the organization saw potential in the two-way player and knew he would be a key part of a championship-bound team.
