Great motor and rebounder (especially offensive rebs).

22 years old and seems mature and well spoken.

Nice stroke, seems like he could develop a decent shot.

Ujiri gonna Ujiri...

To predictable several good players slip to us and we pass on them to reach for a guy nobody has heard of

Officially #teamnegative was borderline neutral but this shiii is too much

The more I look into this guy, the more I like it. Great numbers, measurements, apparently has a non-stop motor.

Starting to warm up on the guy a bit, I think I was just in shock initially. Will he be playing for the Raptors next season?

Wow. Caught me off guard with this one...

My first impression was WTF. But then like everyone else here I went and checked his draft express stats and workout video...

I know his team was in lower level competition, but man did he ever dominate! His advanced numbers are really impressive.

Part of the reason I really wanted Sabonis, was his rebounding and motor. Siakam brings those but instead of pedigree and high basketball IQ he has shotblocking and is better athlete... So color me intrigued.

Masai you had my curiosity, but now you have my attention....

These videos are always deceptive and anyone who misses that many jumpers in an empty gym will have trouble making them in the NBA for a while.

The one positive thing I noticed was that he looked equally smooth jumping off either leg and dunking with either hand. Not too many guys look good jumping off their wrong leg and dunking with their wrong arm. Many athletic guys can, but they look choppy or sloppy. He looked smooth.

It honestly feels like a Bruno pick in the sense that they had hoped Korkmaz was on the board (like Ennis/Harris) and when things didn't go to plan they just went f**k it.

Deyonta Davis had that same profile.
