Anunoby Ranked 11th as Top Defender | New York Knicks News

OG Anunoby, the Knicks’ defensive anchor, just landed at 11 on Game Theory’s top 25 defenders list—earning praise as the league’s most switchable defender—though he narrowly missed the top 10. His improved health, playing 74 and 67 games over the past two seasons after years of injury-plagued campaigns, fueled his All-Defensive Second Team and DPOY finalist honors last year. While stars like Davis and Green dominate the top tier, Anunoby’s elite playoff defense—holding opponents to under 44% shooting—proves he’s a top-tier stopper. Analysts believe he could crack the top 10 by season’s end, but for now, his injury history keeps him just outside the elite group.
