Well, there has been some great duos of wing defenders, e.g. 14' Green and Kawhi, 20' George and Kawhi, Pippen and Jordan, Iggy and Draymond (if you consider the latter a wing defender), Tatum and Brown, LeBron and Wade/Posey, Moncrief and Pressey, Battier and Posey, Tucker and Ariza. Some of these are also two-way stars, where do you project Mikal Bridges and OG Anunoby to be in the list of all time great wing defender duos (per peak only, not cumulative career value)?

Dumars Rodman would be the best duo in my opinion.

Can we see how they play together first? Fantasy basketball and reality basketball don't always match up perfectly.

Literally came in here to say this happy to see someone else feels that way.

Anunoby is not that guy. And really Mikal isn’t either, and I like Mikal. Mikal is a good defender, was never elite.
Jae Crowder was the best defender on the Suns, at their best. And that’s post-injury, older Jae Crowder.
And Anunoby has always been a big lumbering wing defender you can kill with a screen. Not sure how that’s change. Good but not great defenders. Too many duos to count over them.

This should be very interesting to watch. If they click, that's going to be nightmarish for the opposition the 60% of games for which OG is healthy.
