Siakam is shooting the 3 at a historically bad rate, and has a chance to be one of the worst in NBA history.

Reduce above the break and elbow 3s. take the open corner 3s. Its simple really.


Finally figuring this out two years after it was first discussed, simple really.

Not to Siakam apparently. He's the one shooting.

Did you even consider that with other shot creators now including featuring Barnes this year, and after the trade with RJ and Quickly, that it moves him to the corner more often instead of standing above the break and initiating every play? Nah, that would be too hard.

Before this year, who was going to breakdown the defense and set Pascal in the corner? Now we got Scottie and Quickly taking the shots from the top and this allows way more opportunities for Pascal to get shots in the corners
When will we just change the name of 25 of the 30 teams to the Washington Generals?

Please advise….

He typically shoots good from corners, its a choice for him.

Getting him back in the corners seems to be another benefit of moving OG.

But half this board said he was basically done just as many had said Fred was basically damaged goods despite now having arguably the best season of his career.


Fred has always been inefficient and played a style of basketball that was unaesthetic and not conducive to team chemistry. This is exactly my point though. Siakam and fvv don’t have the same issues. My reasons for wanting fvv gone do not apply to siakam and that’s why I don’t understand the siakam hate.

Last 17 games - he's shooting 48% from deep. He's so back.
