Is Siakam the Raptors best young prospect?

He was unplayable last year. Looks completely different and this is without a 3 pt jumper. Can pass, dunk, play good d, post up. Pretty impressive stuff.

I don't know, that empty seat on the bench that Carroll used to sit in is performing so well this year compared to who came before him

His defensive potential is great. He can switch on anything. He's a very good passer, if he gets that three down he can be an elite role player, and maybe his potential is even higher than that. If we want to dream on it, he's a poor mans Draymond Green type player right now.

super versatile swiss army knife, can guard multiple positions, plays good defense, runs like a gazelle, has a great motor, good passer, good hands, good defensive awareness / bball iq.

just wait for him to get a 3pt shot.

His defensive potential is scary. Can guard 1-5 and literally never gets fatigued. I honestly believe he can go 48 minutes without breaking a sweat.

Dude is like a Cameroonian Dhalsim. Quickness and length for days. He develops an outside shot and tightens up them handles, he's an absolute diamond in the rough. And I was floored they didn't take Skal....

Didn’t he only take up the sport like 5 years ago? If so that’s nuts

When he got drafted, I was like "who??"

But now he's looking like our best young prospect.

Everyone on this board wanted Skal over Siakam.

Good thing Masai is the real GM.

His evolution into a point forward has been pretty exciting.

Return to Toronto Raptors
