Quotes:
Chris Stone of The Step Back preaches caution and patience with regard to Anigbogu’s development, making him a better fit for a team on the rise or rebuilding.
"“Anigbogu, though, is going to require patience. While he has terrific measureables for the center spot, he’s a raw prospect who is still developing his feel for the game on both ends of the floor.”"
Jonathan Givony of DraftExpress outlines Anigbogu’s tendency and ability to run the floor, a skill that is unique for his size and position.
"“[Anigbogu] has a strong first few steps in transition and long strides once he gets up to full speed, allowing him to beat his man down the court with regularity. He’s also an active rim runner who takes few possessions off.”"
