The 26-year-old Anunoby should fit nicely in Tom Thibodeau’s stingy defensive system. The 2019 NBA Champion is averaging 15.1 points, 3.9 rebounds and 2.6 assists per game this season with a superb 48.9 field goal percentage.

For the Raptors, this is likely the first of several moves by the front office to begin a retool/rebuild. All-Star Pascal Siakam, in the final year of his contract, is Toronto’s top trade chip to monitor leading up to the deadline.
