OG Anunoby looks like ‘perfect piece’ for Knicks after just one game

We saw the vision of the trade.

The ball movement, the defense, the victory.

OG Anunoby only took 12 shots in his Knicks debut Monday, but that was kind of the point, wasnt it? Distributing the offense was part of the reason New York sacrificed 33 combined points per game in RJ Barrett and Immanuel Quickley to acquire Anunoby, who entered the afternoon with zero practice time and still fit the Knicks like sunglasses on Jack Nicholson.

Its a personal pet peeve when a writer details new negative narratives about a player who just left, but this is something Ive said many times previously about Barrett, while he still wore No. 9 in orange and blue:

The Canadian is not a facilitator, and therefore needs the ball to be effective.

Hes not athletic enough to be a great defender.

And his 3-point shot is subpar.

Charles WenzelbergAnunoby is essentially the opposite at small forward. He cant create for himself off the dribble like Barrett, but the 26-year-old All-Defense selection spaces the floor because of a proficient 3-point shot. He knocked that down three times Monday in six attempts, including a momentum shifter with about nine minutes left in the fourth. The unclogged lane, courtesy of Anunobys long-distance threat, wa important toward Knicks success, specifically for Julius Randle as he navigated the paint for a 39-point gem.

This was all off instincts from Anunoby. As he said postgame, Read and react … that was everything, really. A man of few words, Anunoby entered MSG with only a playbook to study from the night prior, when he celebrated New Years Eve by himself in a hotel room.

Then Anunoby logged 35 minutes with 17 points, producing the teams best plus/minus (plus-19) while trusted by Tom Thibodeau to guard Minnesotas budding superstar Anthony Edwards.

Not a bad debut.

I thought the first game was impressive, just to be ready and figure it out on the fly, Thibodeau said. Played smart. … Played great defense. Hustled without the ball. Made big shots. Great start.

Its huge for us.

Anunoby wouldve played more but fouled out with four minutes left to a Garden applause, getting his first taste of New Yorks appreciation for a player who doesnt have to light up the scoreboard to impact winning. The reaction wasnt quite emphatic enough to declare it love at first sight, but the impression was certainly strong, much like Josh Harts last season.

Charles WenzelbergAnd its just as easy to see the long-term match in the form of a lucrative new contract this summer. A lot can happen in the next six months, but were confident Anunoboy and the Knicks will reach an agreement.

Why?

Lets just say the forwards CAA agents, Andrew Morrison and Sam Rose, were seated with the Knicks front office for Mondays game.

Sam, by the way, is Leon Roses son.

Wink, wink.

I let my agents handle that stuff, Anunoby said of his free agency.

OG_Anunoby_looks_like_perfect_piece_for_Knicks_after_just_one_game 3OG Anunoby could end up being a long-term match with the Knicks after this season. Charles WenzelbergKeep in mind, while New Years Day was encouraging, this isnt the trade. It better not be with Rose still hoarding all those draft picks.

Thats how Knicks faithful should consume the Anunoby deal, as difficult as it might be to stomach the departures of homegrown picks sent to the Raptors. The Knicks are better today but theyre not title contenders. Theres still the hardest part left for the front office, which is the acquisition of a superstar who could give the Knicks a real chance at breaking a 50-plus year championship drought. And since the landscape has changed in the NBA with stars forgoing free agency by signing lucrative extensions thatll most likely have to arrive via trade.

We assume this is the greater plan from Rose. We assume but dont know because the Knicks president never talks, at least not on the record, even on New Years Day after completing the biggest trade of his tenure.

Still, the play of his new acquisition spoke pretty loudly.

I guess you can say OGs a perfect fit, Jalen Brunson said.
