The new British-born Toronto Raptors draftee. OG Anunoby couldve been an asset for team Nigeria Anunobys defense wouldve come in handy on this team as Nigeria..

OG Anunoby, the 23rd overall pick in the 2017 NBA draft by the Toronto Raptors, could have been a valuable asset for the Nigerian national team at the 2016 Olympics.

Anunoby's length and athleticism would have been a major boost to Nigeria's defense, which allowed opponents to shoot 44.1% from the field during the Olympics. He also would have provided a much-needed scoring punch, as Nigeria averaged just 69.4 points per game in Rio.

Anunoby's absence was a major blow to Nigeria's hopes of medaling at the Olympics. The team finished with a 1-4 record and was eliminated in the quarterfinals.
