Why The New York Knicks Do The Deal
The Knicks should covet Anunoby – whether he’s got the potential to do more or not.
If he doesn’t, he’ll still bolster this Knicks offense considerably. Anunoby would pair with Mitch Robinson to make for one of the best defensive duos in the league. Meanwhile, moving R.J. Barrett to the 2 would give the Knicks a lot of size.
On the other hand, there’s a world where Anunoby develops into the best player on this team. The Knicks are deep and talented, but they don’t have a superstar – that’s a vacancy Anunoby could fill.
Finally, they shouldn’t miss the outgoing players too badly. Hartenstein and Toppin are buried behind Robinson and Julius Randle on their depth chart.

Whether he’s got a high ceiling or not.
