Pascal Siakam is Really Good

Pascal Siakam is insanely good. If you didn't know that at the start of the season, well... you know now.

The 24 year-old power forward quickly slotted himself in to a starting spot with the Raptors, and has produced a stat line worthy of keeping him there. Siakam is averaging 12.5 points and 7 boards on 61.9% shooting.

What keeps Pascal in the starting lineup is not necessarily the stats that he records. It's the intangible things, qualities that he possesses that make the team that much better when sharing the court with him.

For instance, the energy that he plays with; it gets everyone else around him just as energetic as he is, resulting in a pace-pushing, high-volume-scoring, defensive squad, that, more often than not, absolutely wrecks opposing units.
