O.G. Anunoby is one of the most intriguing players headed to the NBA Draft this summer. The NBA Combine kicked off Tuesday with some notes and measurements on Anunoby.

It’s not secret that Indiana sophomore O.G. Anunoby was going to create a buzz when he decided to enter the NBA Draft. Pre-season, Anunoby was considered to be a Top-10 pick by some experts and the best athlete on the floor.

Indiana fans have been able to watch O.G. for the better part of two seasons now. O.G. Anunoby made his name in the national spotlight last season at the NCAA Tournament. The Hoosiers were coming off an outright Big Ten Conference Championship and were undefeated at home. Anunoby was put on notice when he showcased his defensive dominance in the tournament.

High expectations for this season fell short when Anunoby suffered a season-ending knee injury and the Hoosiers missed the tournament. The firing of Tom Crean might have even made the decision for Anunoby that much easier. Anunoby’s teammates from Indiana including Thomas Bryant and James Blackmon Jr. have also decided to stay in the NBA Draft this summer. While Robert Johnson is weighing options, the Hoosiers could have as many as four players in this draft.

The NBA Combine kicked off in Chicago on Tuesday and O.G. Anunoby and college teammate Thomas Bryant were both invites. While Anunoby will not be able to participate in any of the live action such as 5-on-5 drills, he did get a chance to have his measurements taken.

According to multiple outlets, O.G. Anunoby measured at 6-7.75 (shoes on) with a wingspan of 7-2.25. His body weight was at 232 pounds and seven percent body fat. Anunoby’s size could be extremely valuable in the modern NBA where many teams like to play smaller and quicker. Anunoby could be the type of player to play the stretch-four position for some teams.

Here is how Twitter reacted to O.G. Anunoby’s initial measurements:

People are even noting his high shorts as a major plus…
