OG's Stellar Defense Shuts Down Donovan Mitchell
Last night, Donovan Mitchell was invisible until a few baskets in the fourth quarter. The defence of OG shut down Mitchell and his Cleveland Cavaliers. OG's defence proved too much for Donovan and the Cavaliers last night. Unsurprisingly, he was undervalued throughout most of the game, putting up no more than 12 points and a -12 rating after four quarters.
Invisible. That's the word many used to describe Donovan Mitchell's performance against our OG last night. Mitchell was undervalued most of the game as he struggled to find his place within his team's system. With no answer to OG's impressive defensive effort, Mitchell was left lost in a sea of confusion on numerous occasions as he looked for points.
It will be a daylight robbery if the NBA doesn't give OG Anunoby DPOY award!
OG Anunoby is the Defensive Player of the Year, and he's definitely deserving of the title. There's no question about it at this point in time. He's been a massive problem for opposing offences all year long, and he's only going to get better as he continues to play. If you're looking for a player that can shut down any player on the court, OG is your guy.
Unconventionally powerful. That's OG Anunoby, and it’s why he has become the best one-and-one defender in NBA. His style defies all expectations, making him impossible to prepare for or plan against. He relies on intelligence, instincts and intuition to make timely and always effective decisions.
He moves quickly and decisively, rarely missing an opportunity to disrupt or aggravate opponents while staying within the rules. His energy rapidly shifts between aggression and finesse as the circumstances require. Most importantly, he understands how to read plays before they develop to prevent them from happening in the first place, which is truly remarkable in the modern game of basketball.
Separately these skills would be impressive, but together they make OG Anunoby an indispensable figure for any team looking for solid defensive play. He demonstrates agility and knowledge beyond his years with every game he plays. That combination breeds confidence from teammates who can rely on OG to perform at a high level each time out. He may defy expectations, but his talent is unquestionable; no one is like OG Anunoby right now in the NBA.
Anunoby is relentless in his effort on defence, relentlessly harassing opposing best players so much that they'd give up possession without even wanting to score. His attitude towards defence is changing something fundamental in the game - it became a philosophy, a mentality that players must adopt and follow. He makes it look like no ball was out of reach, no shot too difficult to stop, and no box out too strong. His ability to guard any position at a moment's notice gave him an edge over most defenders. Literally, he can guard 1 through 5 night in and night out. Anunoby's commitment to challenging himself on defence has helped make him a model for others aspiring to be Defensive Player of the Year.
OG's Efficient Offensive Game
OG was not just a defensive force last night; He also did it efficiently on offence. Skillful and clever, OG's offensive prowess knows no bounds. He owned the court with 26 points on a mere 16 shots, converting 10 of 16 field attempts, including 6 of 9 from downtown range. His marksmanship is unparalleled, and he consistently makes plays that shock fans and rivals alike.
OG's relentless effort, ferocious attitude and work rate make him a standout performer night in and night out, and it’s clear that he is the best defender currently in the NBA. He has developed into a complete two-way player and is the benchmark by which all other defenders are judged.
