Problems with Siakam starting are basically:
1) On the defensive end, good teams will challenge DeMar/Siakam in PnR situations often. DeMar gives up on plays, and if Siakam makes the wrong read, it's an easy basket.
2) On the offensive end, teams will not respect him, which results in clogged paint scenarios.twitter.com/anthonysmdoyle

Brook Lopez had that done a few years back, then had to have secondary surgery to fix the screw when it started to bend. Durant had a screw inserted two years ago; the Thunder kept trying to rush him back, and he ended up shutting it down. Either way, its tough to be overly optimistic given its the same foot he had problems with before.I relish negativity and disappointment. It is not healthy. Somebody buy me a pony.

morbid prediction: he rushes himself back because it's a contract year, then gets more seriously injured.
sad part is he could have avoided so many problems by getting in shape. maybe he wouldn't have even had this injury, and if he did, he'd already have a big money deal.
Anyways, the "non-solution" solution to the 4-spot problem just disappeared. what now, masai?

I just hope this doesn't put such a huge workload on Carroll that he ends up injured too. I expect DC to go small a LOT.

We also have a coach who gets crazy fond of small ball. And he also tends to let the game get more disorganized in doing so. We also lost our defensive specialist who preached a more conservatie/effective defensive system, and our head coach was always in love with his "scramble" D before last season. Will small ball degenerate into more "scramble"? If it does we may as well get ready for the early playoff exit that'll come with it.

Every year there's talk of involving Jonas more... DD/Kyle averaged 25 FGA per game in the preseason to Jonas's 7. I don't get how using the same approach again is going to lead to meaningful improvement. I think we were very lucky to beat the Pacers and Heat last year... Not sure we'll escape by the skin of our teeth this time around.

Here's a thought from the silver lining department. Just pretend Scola got injured. That's where we are (sort of). Remember, before Biyombo became our security blanket at the end of the season, for the first third, we were just counting blown bunnies and watching the team play 4 on 5 on offense. We can do this.
