The New York Knicks have some of the best 3-and-D wings in the NBA with Mikal Bridges and OG Anunoby.
There’s a strong argument to be made that Anunoby is the best wing in this league, as he’s a big defender who can hit open shots.

He isn’t cheap, and what the Knicks had to give up for him was certainly a ton in a deal with the Toronto Raptors involving Immanuel Quickley and RJ Barrett, but he’s been well worth the price.
One could say that Anunoby is the second-best player on the Knicks, and one team can realistically never have too many of those types of players.
Unfortunately, there aren’t many around the league, but the Daily News recently linked them to one in the form of a former Chicago Bulls player, Torrey Craig.
“The NBA is a wing’s world. The rest of the league is living in it. The Knicks have two prototypical 3-and-D wings in Mikal Bridges and OG Anunoby, but Josh Hart has served as more of a play-making four. Clarkson and Miles McBride are combo guards, and Yabusele spent most of his minutes for the 76ers at the center spot last season. The Knicks could benefit another player who can play minutes at the three. Brown could develop rising sophomore Pacome Dadiet into a serviceable rotation player — or the front office could use its final minimum slot to shore up the three.

“Names to consider: Cody Martin, Torrey Craig,” they wrote.

Craig has been around the league a bit over the past few years, but he’s been a serviceable player everywhere he goes.
He most recently appeared with the Boston Celtics, but didn’t find much playing time.
