When the New York Knicks traded RJ Barrett and Immanuel Quickly to the Toronto Raptors, OG Anunoby was the headline name returning to the Big Apple.
In addition to OG, the Knicks would pick up big man Precious Achiuwa. New York had one of the league's best big-man rotations, with Mitchell Robinson and Isaiah Hartenstein rotating the center positions. Once Robinson got hurt, it forced Hartenstein to play a larger role as a starter. A role in which he’s excelled.
The team lacked big-man depth, and the ‘add-on’ in the Anunoby trade would get his shot to play.
