CHICAGO — NBA veteran Thaddeus Young has done a lot for OG Anunoby, but that doesn’t mean the young Raptor is going to take it easy on his mentor on the court.

Anunoby had perhaps his best game as a professional as his Raptors clobbered Young’s Chicago Bulls 108-84 on Saturday night.

Anunoby collected 17 points, nailing three of six three-point attempts, threw down four dunks, handed out a couple of assists and absolutely terrorized the Bulls defensively, blocking four shots, most of them in spectacular fashion.

Young was the victim of the most emphatic of those, getting sent to the floor cleanly on an attempted dunk that Anunoby palmed. Minutes earlier Anunoby had blown by Young for one of his dunks.

Anunoby had spent a couple of years on Young’s summer AAU team in Memphis and has leaned on Young for advice from his high school days until the present.

“In the summertime he was there a lot and then like anyone could text him any time. I talked to him before I made my college decision, before I left for NBA and even when I was in the NBA, my rookie year, last year,” Anunoby told the Toronto Sun before the game.
