Pascal Siakam max extension

I get what you're saying but I wouldn't put it that way at all because of what Siakam brings across the board offensively and defensively. The pressure he puts on defense in transition and attacking the rim is immense and will only get better. Being a player who puts up 32 on 14-17 in your first finals game going up against Draymond Green is someone I'd feel comfortable being a clear second option moving forward on a championship level team for the reason you stated - he still has a lot of room to grow.

A guy whose improved this much with the athleticism, skill-set and motor that he has makes it hard to know what exactly his cieling is. This will be an interesting year to see how he grows. Clearly it's a lot to expect another insane jump for him but what does that next step look like? We'll see

Well, I don't think he needs an insane jump. I think often fans confuse that. I think what he needs is probably some improved consistency, but not really improving aspects of his game much...although that will come.

I'm simply saying that I'd like to see him put in a full year or more as a clear 2nd option and solidify himself as an all-nba player before we crown him that level of a player.

Looking good so far tonight.

[FultzNationRISE]

I agree too, I think Toronto is gonna play with a TON of pride

GAY pride?

[StrongLurk]

Manny looking dumb so far. Although it's only one game.

He's beasting today

[stalkerforlife]

And he deserved it.

Wow.

[LoneyROY7]

Manny at it AGAIN.

[yeaaaman]

This is game 1 and he has a big learning curve and they're going to rely on him a LOT. I think he'll be just fine

He brings great energy but his ballhandling needs major work and most likely won't be improving. Excellent roleplayer.

lol what? His ball handling won't improve? He started playing when he was 18 - did you see his ballhandling as a rookie? It's already improved a lot if you actually watched him but I think you probably didn't until the playoffs last year

[Sportal]

This guy is an absolute prime example of if you get all of your fundamentals right, and work hard, you can be a talent in this league.

Anyone can score 34 against the Pelicans

How many players have become good dribbles after the age of 26?

He's a PF. How many in the league have handles like him? Calling him a role player is a joke considering he will be an allstar as the best player on a top 5 playoff team.
