Pascal Siakam is on fire at the start of the season, the interior of the northerners has decided to start the campaign foot to the floor. Five games were enough to show that Spicy P was indeed the boss of the Toronto side. Be careful, if he stays the course, he will perhaps be the best Cameroonian in the League?
If there’s a Cameroon-born NBA player making a stellar start to the season, look not to Philadelphia, but rather to Toronto. No more mysteries, we are talking regarding Pascal Siakam who is in the oven and in the mill on the first five games of the Raptors by turning 25.2 points, 9 rebounds and 8 assists in 38.2 minutes on average. Just by reading these zinzin stats, we take a huge hit of fatigue and we dare not imagine the hell it must be to get stuck with such a wild Pascalounet for 40 minutes. Spicy P is valuable on both sides of the court and it’s no coincidence that he achieves the best stats of a career that began in 2016. A ring, an MIP trophy, an all-star game, an All-NBA nomination and six years later, Siakam is therefore rocking a start worthy of the best NBA players… that’s good because it’s quite simply what he announced during Media Day.
“I was All-NBA, I was All-Star, I want to be in the top five players in the League. I want to be one of the best and I will do everything possible to make it happen. »

As everyone knows, Media Day truths tend to fade quickly and statements like this can easily backfire on a player. But this situation does not concern Pascal Siakam who for the moment reminds everyone of what he is capable of, so much so that we wonder what he can’t do. Solid in defense, the slender interior has an offensive palette that is developing more and more. Easy near the circle, he can also start shooting. In the first five games of the season, Siakam posted the best ratio of his career from the parking lot with 36% success. Attention, Spicy P can also jump very high and Kevin Durant will not tell you otherwiseand then above all there is this playmaking aspect where it begins to excel.
So yes, the Douala native has only played five games. But all the performances of the bugger have been achieved once morest a serious competitor in the East and it is already a good indication of its current level. Thanks to him, the Raptors are positive with three wins for two losses. The hunting board is also very nice with the scalp of the Sixers, the Heat and the Cavs. Next outing on October 29 for a duel with Joel Embiid and his minions… life is good, isn’t it?

Since the start of the season, Pascal Siakam has been doing a huge job to lead the Dinos to victory. Spicy P has spoken, he is on a mission and for the moment, his opponents are going through a nightmare. Attention, it may be necessary to count on him in the race for the MVP.
