More than anything else, this Toronto Raptors season has been about the evolution of Pascal Siakam.
Save for a three-week break where he was dealing with a groin injury, Siakam has been the team’s best player, and not only an offensive focal point — but the only player living up to expectations on that end. Whether it be injuries, inconsistent play, or a lack of shooting up and down the roster, the Raptors have been a rough watch on the more exciting end of the floor. A rough watch, that is, except for the possessions that revolve around Siakam.
