OG Anunoby believes he’ll ‘fit right in’ with Knicks after stunning trade
NY Post
OG Anunoby received a crash course on Tom Thibodeau’s system and will make his Knicks debut in Monday’s game against the Timberwolves.
Two days after he was acquired from the Raptors in a deal that shipped RJ Barrett and Immanuel Quickley north of the border, Anunoby took part in a morning walk-through and said several times he is “excited” to join the Knicks.
“Just to start playing, just excited to get it going with my teammates, and play at MSG in front of the fans. Just really excited,” Anunoby, who will wear No. 8, said during a pregame press conference. “I think it’s a tough group, resilient group and we all just want to win. So, I think I’ll fit right in with that. Just doing anything it takes to win games.
“I always loved playing here as an opposing player, so to play here, play all my home games here, is really exciting.”
