OG Anunoby’s personal goals for next season are familiar but elusive.
“Defensive Player of the Year and First Team All-Defense,” Anunoby said in his first interview of training camp. “Those are always my goals.”
Anunoby, considered one of the NBA’s top stoppers, has only once been named All-Defense, and that was a second-team selection before he joined the Knicks.
The forward has never come close to winning Defensive Player of the Year and didn’t garner a single vote last season despite publicly pining for the award.
