OG Anunoby – Return to Form

Earlier this year I wrote about OG Anunoby’s in-between game; tweaks to his jump-shot, his handle and how he might play next to Kawhi Leonard and co. I went so far as to suggest that he could start to emulate progressions that Tobias Harris made in his game. That still seems like a viable future…

Gameday: Hornets @ Raptors, Mar. 24

As the Raptors overall style shifts and changes, they’ve received mediocre feedback in the win-loss category.

The truth is that the postseason awaits this team, as…
