TOP DOG

NBA ROLE: ELITE, ALL-AROUND FORWARD

An attack-minded, two-way forward w/ nice athleticism, an edge on the glass & energy on both sides, Pascal Siakam has grown into a star; loves running the floor in transition (fills lane nicely, finishes chances on the break), does a nice job of ducking in for easy baskets, is very capable of getting by his man for scores; has improved jump shot & isolation scoring (tough to check off the dribble) – Siakam can get hot quick for buckets in or out of rhythm; very good shot blocker, quick off feet; plays a lot of small ball five these days: high-volume board man – Siakam isn’t the strongest at either interior spot but he can out-jump some matchups, uses his speed & anticipation to get loose balls – tremendous motor: underrated passer, can hit open bigs/shooters; fully accustomed to #1 status: Pascal confidently, yet still within himself; NBA Champion, Raptor great – dealt to Pacers! (2024) – Siakam & Indy had a nice run to the ECF, but are looking for even more success in ‘25
