OG Anunoby believes the Raptors will repeat as champions in 2020

The odds may be against them, but that isn’t stopping forward OG Anunoby from having confidence in his Raptors squad.

The 22-year old doesn’t put much stock in the 100-1 odds Vegas put on Toronto winning the NBA title again in 2020. He believes that despite losing Kawhi Leonard, the team still has that championship pedigree.

“I think we’re gonna repeat. We have a really good team and we believe in ourselves and that’s all that matters.” said Anunoby while talking with reports at Raptors media day over the weekend.

Anunoby is expected to be a key bounce-back candidate after a difficult 2018/19 campaign. Aside from the death of his father just days before their season opener, he also missed time in the regular season due to a concussion, and was sidelined for the entire postseason run after undergoing an emergency appendectomy prior to Game 1 of their first round matchup vs the Magic.

With Kawhi Leonard in Los Angeles, Anunoby will be expected to win and maintain a role as the team’s starting small forward and be a key part on defence with his defensive versatility.
