Pascal Siakam did not average in double-figures in points in his first two seasons. All of a sudden, he has looked like a completely different player this year, and has been one of the key reasons why the Raptors have been so successful.

Siakam has been scoring heavily all season long and after a rare off-shooting night where he just shot 3-for-10 to combine for 10 points, he went off and scored 25 points on a very impressive 10-for-16 shooting to lead the Raptors to victory.

He also had 8 rebounds, 2 assists, 2 steals and a block in 30 minutes of action and the forward is currently the front-runner for the Most Improved Player award. He is averaging 16.3 points, 7.0 rebounds and 2.3 assists per game, on 55.2% shooting, this season.
