He's a solid number 2 option in the right situation but he's not "elite" like you are claiming. We'll see how Tatum comes back from the injury, but prior to it, Tatum was clearly the better player.
When Did Pascal Siakam Become This Good?
- Thread starter steph_harden
- Start date
Don't get it twisted - Scottie still projects to have a higher ceiling than Siakam.
I don't think they wanted him gone as much as they didn't want to lock themselves into a treadmill team built around Barnes/Siakam/OGWhy did Toronto fans want him gone @MikelArteta
Instead they're locked into a Barnes/Ingram/RJ play-in pariah
He most certainly was an overrated one trick pony during that finals run in Toronto. Had the Warriors not gotten injured they would've slaughtered them, but he was able to get away with it that year since they was injured.
I didn't watch him much in between that run up til now but it's clear he's added a lot to his game while still being a great downhill PF that can handle the rock. Salute to him.

Came in to say this exact thing. He plays within himself. Nothing seems forced. Nothing seems excessive. Just controlled and consistent. He knows where his bread is buttered

If you want to argue Tatum being a better player I’m not gonna hold you
but he’s clearly an elite player
There’s not many players that can what he can do…especially at his level

Damn just realized this is yet another L in the Paul George Pantheon and Kawhi by proxy
Kawhi really left this man because he thought PG was a better option
Raps would have repeated had he stayed on the team. Sad

You were on point with your Siakam takes so why in the world would you go and compound it like that
There is no way Barnes will ever be as good as Siakam
You think Suggs is better than Scottie, so suffice to say, you should probably leave this argument alone. Let's not sidetrack this thread.
As you should have been.
You going too far. It's good to see Siakam appreciated but he's not a Top 5 player in the league level (Tatum) and Paul George's injuries are making people forget. He was better.Damn just realized this is yet another L in the Paul George Pantheon and Kawhi by proxy

Kawhi was out regardless, he wanted to be close to home & nothing was stopping him.Damn just realized this is yet another L in the Paul George Pantheon and Kawhi by proxy

He is average or above average in pretty much every category from shooting to passing to defense and is more solid then spectacular when it comes to his game. He has played for two of the less featured teams in Toronto and Indy too which doesn't help the average fan in knowing him and how good he been.
Unfortunately, he will carry this fukking team to the title tomorrow night and win Finals MVP.
He is and has always been a playoff riser. His story overall will have a place in the hall of fame when it’s all said and done.

Absolutely, not
Tatum is one of the most disrespected players in the league. Despite being the main guy on a team with a title, and having 3 consecutive all nba first team selections.
Siakam is a very good two way player, and hes getting it done in the playoffs, but hasnt reached the tier that Tatum has.
