But in the little time that he has been with the Knicks, it is safe to say that it has worked out for the Knicks. In the 23 games that he played with the team last season, they were 20-3, and he hade his impact felt.
His plus-minus stat always jumped off the page, as the team was far better when he was on the court. As a result of his great play, it led him to be on a very prestigious list.
Despite him only playing in 23 games for the Knicks last season, he racked up a +353 plus-minus, which places him 10th on the all-time list for the Knicks. For reference, nobody else that made the top 10 played anything less than 100 games.
This goes to show just how much of an impact Anunoby can have when he is healthy. If he can stay on the court this season, he could put the Knicks in great position to contend with the likes of the Boston Celtics in the Eastern Conference, and contend for their first title since 1973.
