THIS Is Why The Knicks TRADED For OG Anunoby...

This is why you get OG Anunoby. In the clutch, mano a mano against one of the best scorers in the league. Stops the drive and gets the steal leading to a fast break and the layup by Julius Randle.
He goes from that, to guarding the big man. Putting the clamps on Karl Towns and forcing him into a tough fadeaway that misses. So now you see another one of his strengths which is the transition. Attacks, great kick out to the corner, we got the swing swing for Josh Hart wide open from downtown and knocks it down.
Again, look at the strength banging against Towns and forcing a tough shot. The refs called this a foul but you can see for yourself that this was a heck of a defensive play.
Similar thing happens on this drive by Mcdaniels. The great contest, and another foul called but if I’m the coach I just tell him that’s good defense, keep it up.
As good as he was on the ball, I loved some of his defensive plays when he was off the ball.
Right here he’s in the corner but follows the action, and at this moment, OG already knows that there’s gonna be a roll and the lob, so he slides down, and prevents what would have been easy 2 points.
In the 4th, just watch him going left and right surveying the entire floor. And watch the great reaction in the knick of time coming down right on the spin. Great close out and then the contest which helps Hartenstein get this phenomenal block.
Plays like these are textbook examples of great off ball defense.
Now, if you only saw the boxscore you’d say that Edwards still had 35 and KAT had 29 points. However as you can see most of these points were against other guys.
Josh Hart was in front of ANT on a lot of these possessions, while Anunoby was on the bench, and KAT’s primary defender who got the bulk of those points was Julius Randle.
Which, honestly it doesn’t even matter who got the bulk of it because no defender can completely shut down a great scorer in today’s NBA, and OG got beat as well on a couple of possessions, but overall, I love what I saw in his debut.
Offensively, we saw why Anunoby has been considered to be a threat from the corners.
OG has shot over 40% on corner threes in every season except his sophomore year.
That’s going to make him extremely valuable in this New York system that generates a bunch of opportunities from the corners.
And similar to the defense, he sees everything off the ball on offense as well, and will constantly cut and sneak his way to easy and high percentage shots. This is strictly based off of his floor vision and the movement without the ball.
This is what makes him useful despite having almost no game off the dribble.
He still got 17 points and the Knicks basically did not run any plays for him. He just finds ways to be effective.
As I said in my previous video when I mentioned the trade, I know that New York is not done making deals. Whether it’s by the end of the trade deadline this year, or in the off season, they’ll be looking to add a high level scorer and unlock a new ceiling for this team. Having a top 5 lockdown defender who you can put on the best opposing players in the playoffs, certainly gives you hope that you can be a great team. So all they need to do now is complete the roster.
Speaking of the Knicks, did you see how Haliburton trash talked the commentator last game?
This was just 1 one of a bunch of crazy moments that happened a couple of days ago.
A wild day and you need to check it out right here. Talk to you in the next one. Peace out. - Sport
As a Raptors fan I'm really glad to see OG finally getting his recognition. His versatility on defence is crazy, treat him well knicks fans!
😂😂😂😂 you Raptors fans are crazy to choose Scottie instead of OG and stop pretending you care for him😂😂😂😂
@@gobeyond6473 OG is 26 and has probably hit his ceiling. He needs to start playing on winning teams, its a W for both sides.

Excellent video analysis of why OG coming to the Knicks is a game changer for this team. While some may be obsessed with the final box score points, you correctly pointed out key defensive possessions that literally changed the flow of the Timberwolves offensive attack, and gave the Knicks a huge win. Even Thibs was beside himself during the postgame presser when he talked about the skills of OG. It was like if Thibs could create a player in the laboratory, it would OG Anunoby
Still in shock, in a happy way 😁, over the trade and how the team played in OG's first game....AWESOME!
Good to see OG get more respect and attention from the media
Hopefully he gets into more All-Defensive teams that he was robbed from in Toronto.
It's crazy, he was invisible for the media just a few days ago.
"Good to see OG get more respect and attention from the media"
Of course he will, he's playing n the MEDIA CAPITAL OF THE WORLD. 😂
He went under the radar way too long
Enjoy watching OG, you will love him just like Toronto loves him
A true win win relative to each teams timeline. Raptors r trying to go younger and do mini rebuild and they got a couple nice young talents. The Knicks on the other hand r at a point where they need to try and contend for a title and og adds an extreme amount of value to this team. Rare to see a true win win
I saw both games, the Knicks got better with OG & the Raptors with RJ & I.Q. As you say, a true win win.
Great that OG and RJ were able to help their new teams win in their first games.
They both won two in a row😮
Very unique frame. Incredible defensive player.
It wasn’t that long ago, he was the one given the LeBron asssignment in the 2018 Cavs Raps series as a rookie.
It's funny seeing American media finally learn about him.
Ppl talk about Warriors not having KD in 2019, Raptors didn’t have OG the entire 2019 playoffs. He would’ve helped them win a few more games in all series he’s a beast.
Facts
Great point. But a healthy gsw back then was goated. Ain't no one beating them in a 7 game series. Best team ever
@@AyoAdefolurinharden and cp3 was about to do it but they missed 27 missed threes in a row
@@adg9042 Facts Harden would have a ring if Cp3 sorry ass didn’t get hurt. Cp3 was busting curry ass so bad dropped em in multiple games
@@AyoAdefolurinThey barely beat a 8th seeded Clippers team with no Star player yet supposed to beat a Raptors team with ease....
OG gonna get that big paycheck. Will miss him but MSG will definitely help him get that big contract he deserves.
The Knicks are going to keep OG and pay him. They'd be crazy to let him walk. IMO
if they let him walk that would be hilarious@@mansur-mars764
Everyone was calling RJ trash but soon as he’s traded “Knicks got fleeced”.
The Knicks got exactly the piece they needed to be title contenders for the years to come.
lmao
@@erroneouse1929 come back to this comment when knicks win a ring this year
1:45 Edwards is so damn fast Josh Hart had no idea what was going on. 😂😂
Such a cool video for insight on a player I would normally not follow.
KNICKS are making positive moves right now and its about time.
Top defender in the league who is a baller that can score any way the team needs to. Now Randle doesnt have to play as much D on bigs. Win win.
If I had a quarter for every time someone mentions No J Barrett’s age, I would be a rich mofo!!!! 😂😂😂😂
They’ll keep talking about how young he is all the way to 35 to give a excuse why he’s still ass
Yoooo heat check keep it up 🎉
We are going to hear a lot of BANG! OG ANUNOBY HITS ANOTHER 3!!!
Been reading ”Raptors fleeced the Knicks”…
I feel like it doesnt matter if the trade fulfills its purpose.
If it takes being fleeced then so be it if it elevates the teams game.
I think both teams got what they wanted for this season. What IQ and OG end up signing for deals will play a big role in who 'wins' the deal in the end.
Great trade for both teams. OG and SB are too similar to play together, and the Knicks needed his skills. But the Raps needed a PG is perhaps the worst way.
Only thing is that OG is very often hurt.
I agree with that 100%
they're not similar at all
@@akz2628 both are combo forwards.
He strong. Strong like bull.
OG's defense makes other player's defense improve. Truly unselfish player
Positive move for the mighty KNICKS. OG WELCOME TO NEW YORK 🔥
Maybe RJ being in canada now will give him a +10 boost to all stats
I wouldn't expect less of a Jedi master
People are acting like the Knicks gave up a lot for OG. They gave up RJ who was a bust and on a bad contract, IQ who was gonna leave in the off-season, and a 2nd round pick
I thought the knicks were getting fleeced but yea ngl ur right
You act like RJ isn't averaging 18ppg. Yea he didn't become a star and is still inconsistent but you forget he's still like 22 and has time to learn he isn't a bust in any regard. And IQ is a spark plug off the bench who can easily go on insane runs and in low minutes can give you 20+ easy. His only issue is the fact that he's undersized. I'm not gonna say the Knicks lost the trade because I see it as a win win on both sides but saying RJ is an outright bust and acting like the Raptors got fleeced is just wrong
Its a Detroit pick so that's basically end of 1st round. RJ is 23 so I wouldnt call him a bust yet. His contract indeed looks bad right now. IQ indeed might have left, but OG is also on an expiring deal...
@@GetCaughtLackingWiggins was averaging 20 ppg on the Twolves and was still viewed as a bust. Ppg isnt the whole story of basketball. OG is a much better player than RJ and Quickley coukd possibly leave. Knicks just beat the Wolves and im sure they woukd have lost with RJ. Much better team and im saying this as a Celtics fan that watches division games all the time
Sound goofy af, RJ ain’t no bust, he just did not fit the Knicks system at all was mis-utilized, also Knicks can’t develop talent for sht
I think they traded for him because he's good at basketball. I could be wrong tho
The true test is when they play each other and when Raptors meets the NYKs in playoffs to see who got the better assets in trade. Right now nothing to talk about as the Raptors are near the bottom of the East. Knicks are play in tourney team hoping to elevate to 3-4-5 spot with this trade and others looming b4 deadline. Raptors vs NYKs on 1/20/24. Let’s see who got the better deal
Heat Check is the Best 🔥
OG probably can guard all 5 positions well maybe not that good guarding C position like idk Jokic or Embiid thats it , thats why he's , who he's .
Good trade for the Knicks, the only concern is that it's a "rental', he might leave end of the season...
The president’s son is his agent
I don’t think so I heard that he wants to stay and will take a reduced salary
He most likely won't leave. The real concern is health.
OG is like kawhi 2.0 thats why the Spurs wanted him in the kawhi deal
Gledao sam utakmicu i mislim da si ti najzadovoljniji! Konacno da tvoji Njujorcani mogu nesto da urade.. daju ti nadu xD
Tbh I was so happy that they got rid of 2nd round pick RJ Barrett(I know he was the 3rd pick but he plays like one). I wasnt convinced this was a good trade overall untill i saw OG play defense, hit sideline 3 and just gave energy to the Knicks. Now the Knicks need a bona-fide #1 scoring so they can get the ball out of turnover prone Randle's hands.
What an og name
I was hoping the Kings would get him. Maybe they can still get Siakam.
@@edgardoMurnia The Kings are known to be interested in trading for Siakam. As a Kings fan, I'd be happier with Siakam and Sabonis on the court than with Barnes and Sabonis on the court.
I'm glad the Raptors gave OG to the knicks rather than to the 76ers or Pacers where he'd be a threat
We will see which team consistently benefits from the trade. Maybe they both do, which also could make sense. It isn't JUST the players stat line, it can also greatly depend on the other players, the overall team environment, and not to mention its a different system.
Honestly, both a win win situation for both Knicks and Raptors, heck at this point Raptors kinda won on the trade since Quickly is a good player!
I'm so sad, we lost our defensive player 😭
May need to upgrade their coaching position but OG is the right move assuming they can resign him for a reasonable contract
What is your backgrouns music? The legend of zelda?
OG has been this special all his career, I find it funny how all these basketball fans are reacting this way like he just fell from the Sky.
He has been the Best 3&D of the NBA for the last 4 years, he has locked down many stars.
I was so sad, but you cheered me up) 🧡
The Warriors were foaming at the mouth trying to get him. He's just like Draymond, except younger, without anger issues, has an offensive game, and is not suspended most of the time. Actually, he's nothing like Draymond.
Raptors fan here. OG is the best defender in the NBA right now as he was in the last 2 years. Pound by pound. He loves Toronto but he fail in love with a girl from New York. So he asked fto be trade. As we know Masai, he'll do anything to accommodate his players.
ps: OG is also very funny without him trying it.
Whats this about the girl?
As a knicks fan im fine with these lineup
Where ever Thibs goes, he will take OG with him. Like with Taj
thibs will run him into the ground
OG is used to playing lots of minutes tbh. He does it well and he likes it too
in 2 games og showed us y he is better then rj and I was a rj fan till this year
OG has been doing this for years. Standard game from OG. Just don’t expect him to get any better. I hope he does, but his ceiling has been capped in Toronto for years. Both teams for what they wanted here.
Derozan off the bench would look real nice in NY
ppl sayin knicks got fleeced but they jus dont know ball, anywhere he woulda went he woulda fitted in great... basketball isnt played in the box scores
knicks gave up an up and coming quickly and an almost bust in rj, knicks are fimally in play, they have someone to defend the likes of butler, tatum/brown, gianis and other stars in the east, big upgrade considering they almost gave up nothing!
@@edgardoMurnia that’s why knicks are heading in the right direction with a versatile defender, saw him against towns and edwars last game and that’s just what the doctor ordered!
Casuals who say we got fleeced don't understand that OG is more valuable to the current roster construction than IQ and RJ. Box score watchers who don't understand that you have to have a wing in the east that can defend. WILLXGREGGS(Go look at his channel about knicks getting fleeced. He is the definition of a casual fan.
OG > Scottie Barnes, it's too bad Toronto traded OG away. In the long run, OG is way more valuable.
So wheres the quickley video.
0:35 OG is strong but I'm not sure using Towns on the post as an example is a good one
in a playoff setting, OG would be switched off to the primary offensive player, mismatch hunting
In the Knick of time
Top 5 lock down defender in which world?
I LOVE MY KNICKS! LETS GO ECF! LETS F*** GOOOOOOOOO
ZERO fucking practice with the knicks and OG, and they pull off the win at MSG against the timberwolves.
People say the knicks got fleeced? Try telling any other team to do that and also beat the one of the best teams in the NBA.
orange and blue skies baby
OG +19
Thunder Video plssss
🔥
If OG wasn't guarding Ant or Kat, who was he guarding?
Anunoby cut your hair as good for your looks😂😂😂
Suns fan here…Knicks are scary…
Edwards make 35 points. I'm always say best defense is attack, I know wolwes lost but great defense is always above the great defense
knicks traded a half eaten cheeseburger and some fries
God Imagine him with Luka
Knicks should try to trade Randle, cap filler, and picks for Lauri & Clarkson. Would be the perfect fit for them
OG IS A BIG BUILT
He used to look like a heavy weight boxer with massive shoulders and arms 2-4 yrs ago. Raptors fitness crew made him shed some muscles to keep him flexible and light. His big body allows him to guard the biggest dudes like Embiid and Gobert, and still hold his ground and not body down. He has excellent lift too, watch how he always elevate under the rim to dunk without momentum... 2:33. You hardly see players to do that, even tall ones, takes a lot of athleticism.
Yk Steven A is happy 😂
That should have been a foul @0:21
They just need a Kevin Durant type player consistent scorer that is also clutch and boom championship contender 🏆
anything is an upgrade from rj barret
I wish the Bucks could have acquired him.
OG is top 5 defender?!!!
If you ask players and coaches, absolutely.
They might quibble about who is the best, but OG's name will be mentioned in any informed discussion about the best defenders in the NBA.
@@dabaconpham7313 he's not even top 10
The trade was basically IQ for OG Annuoby with RJ being the salary filler.
Zach Lowe reported that a few FO's considered RJ a bad contract which the advance stats would support. Hopefully, playing for the Raptors + less pressured environment will mean he improves his play.
Flynn and achuiwa are only 25 and 24 and were both first round picks. Precious will help the knicks with his rebounding and athleticism if they use him in the right role
Tbh the Knicks won this trade EASILY. wWhy is everyone thinking that RJ and IQ were in the same level playr as OG? 😂 Finally, the Knicks are getting exactly the kind of player their team needed.
It's a pretty even deal TBH. OG is a conundrum. Defensively he's a monster, but on offense he's pretty stagnant, he can hit his 3's. He wants to be more involved then that, but doesn't have the skillset to do it. Plus the rumour is he wants some crazy dollars, like $40M crazy.
Trade evan n future2027 pick to magic for Jonathan Issac
They ain't winning until they get rid of Randall
He's no different than Barkley
America 🇺🇸 please give this man citizenship he deserves to play with the dream team he is a hell of defense
An injury prone unlike RJ
@@AB21 thats a different story. Kd is a killer and healthy entering the league. OG wasnt able to complete the season without a long week absence. Check his GP since 2020
Cant deny hes 'prone' but its more like bad luck or clumsiness than a bum knee or whatever. Emergency apendectomy, stitches in hand, death in the family, broken finger, and occasional ankle roll or knee bruise. Hes never had a chronic injury, so its kind of a mystery how he missed so much time.
The TWolves may have the best record in the West but I have always maintained that they are being hugely overrated. That Gobert/Towns tandem is not going to work in the playoffs.
The OG move certainly raises the Knicks ceiling but one win against a good team doesn't make them title contenders. Unless they swing a trade for a legitimate superstar I don't see how this team gets past the Celtics or the Bucks in the postseason.
i dont like the one man show i want jalen to defer to guys so that the can develop offensively so that they can be 2nd options and 3rd options
Better than Barrett
OriGinal Anunoby
They beat two Tomato 🍅 Can Teams. let's see what they do against Boston, Milwaukee and Philly.😂😂😂😂😂
Agree with everything except I feel like og can do work off the dribble as a raptors fan I hate to see him go.
not well. a contender should never want or need OG to do that. he's not great at it compared to everything else he does.
@@chadd980 agreed I can see him be like a Mikal Bridges because on a sub par team he could prob get 23 24 but just like mikal in championship contender he is just a 3 and d wing
Lol, the latest game seriously calls that take into question... it's more about finding out how to unlock skills that he already has, but has had limited success implementing in game situations.
2024 NBA Champs = New York Knicks
Lowkey I still believe that quickly will came back offseason and he will be piece that we need for the second unit, we just need 2 more pieces and we are legit championship contenders
im so early
So basically RJ is useless. I can see that. Knicks please trade Randle now.
The thing about this trade is that the Knicks still need another piece. And they have no assets to trade.
Meanwhile the Warriors have Klay "Some 3 no D" Thompson for a cheap price of 43 mil/y.
KAT soft
Lol one game I’m not surprised it’s loser Knicks fans 😭😭😭😭
