I apologize for this being barely off topic. But there's a video of Juwan Morgan dunking on OG right? Or OG on Juwan? I just cannot find this video anywhere and I swear it's real lol.

I believe there might have been a picture like that

Damn ccgeneral - I thought I was going to be able to post this one first!  Guess I have to get up earlier

Great news (although not surprising).

Who could be the Buddy Hield or Denzel Valentine of 2017?

OG Anunoby #2 linky

I like the confidence, I don't see him as a scorer like Hield.  I do believe that he has the skill set to become one of the best players of the year though.  I'm excited to watch him next season.

I think and hope we feature TB next season. I'm sure there will be a guard or two that also step up. I really hope OG develops into that third scoring threat. I don't seeing a definite scoring threat on the wing.

OG is a big key going forward. He's the X factor.

Yeah if he can develop an offensive game we will be very dangerous. 

Hopefully he sticks around a third year if that's the case

Nigel Hayes, Caleb Swanigan, Peter Jok, Miles Bridges, etc, etc, get ready; your offensive game is in store for a healthy heaping of OG defense.

We don't need to put OG on Swanigan.

Purdoo will be big again, with a front line of Haas, Swanigan, and Edwards. I would expect OG to draw Swanigan with that lineup.

That is just too dangerous. Swanigan is still massive compared to OG and is a good way to put OG into foul trouble or wear him out quick. But of course we may be forced to without only 2 big men on the roster.

I think he'll be okay:

 

 

Mike Schmitz @Mike_Schmitz

He didn't scrimmage but OG Anunoby's physical profile is elite. Should be able to play some 4 in NBA. Stroke much smoother than I thought.

I'm still holding out hope that both OG returns for his junior year and IU lands Wilkes. Having OG and Wilkes on the wing could potentially be dominant and the best in the B1G/CBB.

Swan doesn't like going in the post much and I would expect OG and/or JMor to use their smarts and athletic ability to defend him and make him pay on the other end. Swan trying to guard OG is a matchup nightmare for them. OG can hit from outside and showed last year he was able to take much smaller and quicker guards off the dribble, let alone a plodding Swan.

Allow me to summarize:

OG > Swanigan

 

[HoosierAloha]

Probably better in a separate thread, but if he has the good season we all expect, it's hard to believe OG will stay.

I'm not trying to rag on OG but I'm not sure he'll have that season. I'm not arguing that if you're projected lottery or close to it you should go. I believe OG will have a great year but will return as a junior.
