OG Anunoby contributes elite defense along with a scoring boost. Recently, he has excelled, making shots at an astonishing rate while effectively restraining the opposing team’s best player.

Barnes Defends the North

Brandon Ingram adds about 22 points per game with his smooth shooting capability. Immanuel Quickley directs the offense, averaging more than six assists nightly, ensuring the ball flows effectively.
