LOCKED ON 100 WEEK: Are OG Anunoby And Mikal Bridges BOTH TOP 50 Players In The NBA? Sep 11, 2025

Show notes

Gavin Schall continues to review the first-ever Locked On Top 100 by tackling the Knicks' two star wings.

OG Anunoby is arguably the NBA's best "role" player. Does that sling his value over established number one options who are inefficient or injury-prone? Is it more harmful to have a subpar star who can't scale down or an elite role player who may not be capable of more? These are the questions to grapple with when debating if Anunoby belongs in the NBA's Top 40 or Top 50.

Is Mikal Bridges actually overrated by the league? Gavin explores if the rest of the NBA is aware of just how poor Bridges was on defense last year and how a better context could elevate him up the list next year.
