Anunoby tore his right ACL in January and he is recovering still. Prior to the injury, Anunoby showed that he can be a presence on defense. He is a strong 6'8", 238 lbs. Anunoby averaged 11.1 points, and 5.4 rebounds per game. His percentages were all over the map: (56% FG, 36% 3-pt., 52% FT). ...Although he is a low-turnover guy, he still had more T.O.'s than assists in his season and a half of play. Anunoby has a standing reach of 8'11.5" (same as Pascal Siakam, and Trey Lyles.) ...Anunoby was among our favorite players to watch due to his relentless activity, especially on the defensive end. We think he can guard twos, threes and fours in the NBA right now, and with more man-weight he may even be able to check some small-ball fives. Indiana's team really fell off after Anunoby's injury, going from a 62% winning percentage to a 44% winning percentage. ...Anunoby's shot is not pretty. We have doubts about him ever being a great offensive player. But his overall impact due to his D makes him potentially valuable. We would not spend a first round pick on him due to the unknowns of the ACL. But if he's there early second round (which we doubt), we would go ahead and grab him.

Decent Advice: In 2012, the 32nd pick in the NBA Draft was Tomas Satoransky. We advised, "Draft Draymond Green."
