#2 Pascal Siakam is a part of a four man core for the Toronto Raptors:
Pascal Siakam is an NBA statistician's dream. He is a third-year forward from Cameroon who has taken a massive leap as a jack of all trades who solves all sorts of problems for the Toronto Raptors.
He stepped forward last season as a key cog in the second unit that helped the Raptors to a franchise-record 59 wins. After the Kawhi Leonard trade and the dismissal of ex-head coach Dwayne Casey, Nick Nurse decided to give Siakam a chance alongside the new core of Kyle Lowry, Kawhi Leonard, Danny Green and Serge Ibaka/Jonas Valancuinas.
This move has paid off immediate and handsome dividends for the Raptors, who have been able to score their opponents off the court. The Raptors are 4-0 for the week including a huge 131-128 win over the Golden State Warriors.
Siakam was amazing in this game, defending really well and also was superb on the offensive end, scoring 26. He was expected to be a low usage, complementary player this season, but he is now enjoying his highest usage ever. Pascal Siakam is not yet Draymond Green, but he certainly has the blueprints to become one.
