16. OG Anunoby, 23, Toronto Raptors

Since becoming a starter in Toronto, OG Anunoby has continued to improve as a player on both ends of the floor. Anunoby entered the league as a strong defensive force, but over the last two seasons, he’s really improved as an offensive threat.

During his fourth season with the Raptors, Anunoby averaged 16 points and six rebounds on 48 percent shooting from the field and 40 percent shooting from 3-point range. The big question revolving Anunoby falls on what his next step will be.

I’m not sure Anunoby will make the jump to stardom but there’s a good chance that he will have the potential to be a key part of the Raptors’ next phase.
