Pascal Siakam is a wonder to watch. A late second-round pick by the Raptors in 2016, he just gets more interesting to watch as the season progresses. He will need to fill out his frame and get stronger and become more consistent from behind the arc, but the Raptors energizer bunny has a motor that does not quit, he runs and he keeps expanding his game.

In his third season, Siakam has gone from averaging 4.2 points per game in his rookie year to 7.3 points per game last year and now is currently averaging 14.5 points per game so far this season.

His ability to rebound and advance the ball the length of the court catches opposing defenses, in transition. He had 21 against the Miami Heat on Sunday night. Earlier this month, Siakam was honored as the Player of the Week (November 5-11, 2018). His future is bright in Toronto.

The Toronto Raptors will face the Memphis Grizzlies next on Tuesday, November 27th, 2018 at 8 pm and then have an interesting match-up, on Thursday night, against defending NBA Champions the Golden State Warriors.
