OG Anunoby | New York Knicks Postgame Press Conference | January 25th, 2024

Well you know that you is this the first time you got chance no we W it’s happened a couple times now yeah yeah it’s happened a couple times but um but you know was that feeling out there scoring 26 those CH it was Good Feeling Again you it was a great team

Win we played hard we did a great game plan and we went out and executed it we were plus 39 six steals just what did you see that allowed you to impact the game that uh just uh following the game plan and then being aggressive of you

Know if I see if I’m like a ball Hawk like that’s how I play so making reads on the ball if I see something I feel something just being aggressive going for it you said following the game plan mean yic is obviously talented what was

What was it he had 31 I think everyone else him at 53 just was that the game plan let him go no it wasn’t it’s just how the game ended up we were made sure we covered everyone and Y is a great player no matter what he’s going to get his

One you feel like I think so I think we’re getting better and better every day every practice every stretch we have to pull practices together and you know the longer we’re together the more we’ll get used to each other and figure out Tendencies and just figure out how we’re

Going to play when you you guys are guarding kind of one guy guard one onone especially you Dante are kind of stuning at him and your job is to almost pay attention your guy and also yog should know when to go where are you looking what’s your what’s your process your

Thought process in those moments to know when to go when I’m looking at the man in the ball I’m looking at my man and also looking at the ball and being aware of like back screens or screens are coming or if uh like guarden Jamal if

He’s going to chase come back around so just kind of playing in the middle but also being close to Jamal he’s a great player as well so what’s like what’s your trigger to know like okay now I can get that step towards the ball versus I got to stay

There’s no trigger just feel like just going knowing when to go and when not to go when you got here was there anything about you said we want this to be your role I guess it’s part one of the question but I’ll let you take that one

No they just told me to play my game be aggressive on both ends just be myself did you have any Instinct thought feel that plugging you in here even the first two stringers for Center that you guys could be performing this well defensively that it would click this

Quickly for you guys to go did I know this would did I know this would happen yeah uh like it could I don’t when I came I wasn’t even thinking about I was just trying to get acclimated but happy it is happening and whenever we get guys

Back um Mitch it’ll be even better so they’re great players so they’ll help out even more have you allowed yourself to even really just think about that of of what as you get more comfortable within the system as you get bch and you know hopefully you get people like that back

I what that continues to look like as you build out more experience with them oh definitely cuz just playing them in the past knowing that they’re monsters back there both of them so it’ll it’ll be really good can you can you say to yourself like you look at what the

Team’s doing you look at the minus you look at the record like damn I’m making a big ass difference like is it hitting you in that in that way uh yeah but I mean that’s what I always wanted to do like that’s I expect it like I expect to make a difference you

Knowe Jer oh uh they’re great players themselves they made impact they were guarding yic switching out onto the guards rebounding blocking shots running the floor setting great screens passing they’re great players themselves they put in a lot of work so I’m not surprised by anything they doing you

Know you know PR a lot better than we do the last three games have been clearly steps forward for sure from what he was those first however many it was what are you seeing working for him oh just him like getting acclimated you know he’s

Super talented he can do a lot of things he’s great defender he’s just a great player like a crazy Talent so just getting acclimated getting used to things you know it’s just everything’s so sudden so just trying to s for everyone just trying to get acclimated try to get used

To everything and he’s every day is getting better and better what changes most for you when you I’m sorry T just kind of left you out there seemingly to kind of handle the second unit I know miles is out there too um but you handled the ball quite a bit

With that group it’s not a group that has a ton of ball handling in it uh what is that like for you and then also what is it like defensively to not necessarily have a yage out there on the other side of it where I imagine you’re

A pretty daunting figure to try to score on with second oh just uh just trying to be aggressive even watching games in the past from the past however many games it’s been I’ve noticed haven’t been as aggressive as I should been or I could be passing up

Shots like just trying to be aggressive just H for my shots and I think that carries over to everyone when I’m being aggressive when I’m looking for my shot when I’m just playing with Force carries over to everyone so have you you talking about settling in you settled into place

To live yet you no still in a hotel still how are you doing this living out of a suitcase pretty much I don’t know I’m just trying my best every day every day I’m trying my best thanks man thank you guys
