Bleacher report Jake Fischer was the first to raise the alarm in late March. Fischer mentioned in his report that Anunoby had not "directly expressed his displeasure with his situation" to the Raptors. Still, head coach Nick Nurse made it sound in a recent interview as if they had had conversations about his role. In the future.
The current version of Anunoby is someone every team in the league would want on their roster. Not a 3-point shooter, but he's one of the most versatile defenders in the league. As far as the three and D players go, he's near the top.
Even entering his sixth season with the Raptors, he still feels like he's just scratching the surface of his potential.
Does that mean Anunoby is ready for a more significant role? Let's take a closer look.
Anunoby was primarily a point shooter when he first entered the NBA. He's still a big part of his game, but he's become more of a creator in the last two seasons.
Anunoby has seen his most extraordinary growth scoring in isolation and off the post. According to InStat, he has gone from generating a combined 1.4 per cent of his offence on those snaps as a rookie to nearly a quarter (23.6 per cent) in the 2021-22 season.
