I went in expecting 20-8-8, my only question was about the Defense: Could he do those numbers with elite defense?! So far, YES thus he looks like a future MVP

5-10 from 3. 3 blocks and 3 steals. Pretty insane he's doing all of that on top of scoring and rebounding. And passing. And above average defense.

Hey that's FIBA allstar Wagner to you.

All Barnes was doing was jacking up uncontested jumpers at the YMCA :lol:

You can start projecting him as a future superstar based on games like today. Looks like the fire is back again and the shot is hugely improved.

I made the comp of Chris Webber. Now he's like Chris Webber with more assists and 3-pt shooting!!!

Madvillainy2004 wrote:Honestly speechless, he's incredible and is blowing even my most optimistic projections out of the water. I think he's an all star this year. Get him some players that fit his play style please (Siakam trade).

I think we still need to give Siakam more time to adjust. He went from averaging 18 FGA/game with a 27 USG% the past 4 seasons and now he's suddenly down to 14 FGA/game and 21 USG% this season – but he's still facing the brunt of defensive attention despite much less of an offensive role overall. His 3FG% and 3FGA are pretty much in line with what he did in the previous 4 seasons as the #1 option, but his inside finishing is way down and he's not getting much of an opportunity to score in the mid-range either; he was converting 72% of his attempts within 3 feet and 45% of his attempts from 3-10 feet since 19/20 while also hitting ~42% of ~5 mid-range attempts, but those numbers are down to 67%, 30% and 43% on ~2 attempts per game respectively. Siakam's play on the offensive end so far reminds me of early 21/22 when he came back from surgery a few weeks into the season and was trying to find his way into the offence. Uncharacteristic misses inside and sloppy turnovers have made him look A LOT worse than he can be even at his most average.

We need to give this core 20-25 games at least to see how the pieces fit before making a massive move like trading Siakam. Ideally, he gets his **** together and he becomes one of the best #2 options in the league and Scottie continues to do his thing while Schroder gives some of his extra touches to our best players. And it is very likely that it plays out like that IMO.

A Scottie + Wemby core would literally win 82 games.

Plus we got a great proven championship number 2 beside him that can give us 8 points

Siakam was right at media day the ball always finds the best player.

This is nuts man, I'm waiting for his shot to regress but he keeps loading those cannons
