Anunoby was the Raptors first round pick in the 2017 NBA draft and the only player selected this year by the Raps.

He played two years at Indiana University and was a preseason All-American before a knee injury cut his sophomore season short after playing in just 16 games.

He was averaging 11.1 points along with 5.4 rebounds per game during his 16 game stretch for the Hoosiers before his injury.

It was a major risk for the Raptors to draft an unproven talent who is coming off a knee injury but you have to assume they really believe in Anunoby’s abilities.

The kid has yet to play for the Raptors so lets give him an opportunity to show some of that promise that made the Raptors pick him because that is all he is right now; promising.
