jerome thinks he still needs to work on his bench celebration

Washington's commentators were raving about him.

Some smart fans were all over it.

Experts were comparing him to Biyombo and Tristan Thompson-lite. He is completely different player lool. I was wrong about him. He improved tremendously.

Pretty funny when you go back. I think having Skal and Davis dropping so far down and yet still passing on them is what took people over the edge.

Skal still looks like he'll be a good player. Siakam is also 2 years older than Skal. So Skal could end up as the better player too. Sikam looks like he belongs in the NBA though. Just needs to work on his shooting.

I see siakam topping out as an energy glue guy that can be a #5 starter on a champion or a nice bench player. I definitely did not see that last year and would be glad to continuing eating crow as he improves

I'm not sure how I missed this during last year's player bios, but didn't realize Siakam has a soccer background, and that he didn't start playing basketball until his late teens.

A few weeks ago, we were debating what "skills" Siakam have. I suppose footwork can be added to that list (along with defense, speed). For a guy listed at 6'9", 230 lbs, he moves with a ton of ease.

Yep he was a better soccer player, so are his brothers, but his late father was a huge nba fan and it pushed him to chase the dream. Cool stuff

I think it's safe to say that Pascal has benefited greatly from the ball movement culture reset. Check out his AST%.



That's a huge increase, which probably doesn't happen if we are still running last year's offense where he's just making hand-offs or 3 ft passes back to our guards to reset the offense. Pascal has also been on the the receiving end of more passes, and he's being allowed to take a ton of 3's, even though he's missing most of them. Culture reset is real.

Hope we get to see him on Porzingis again.. he did such a great job last time around.

He's definitely had a great stretch, but there were also a lot of fans crowing about how great TRoss was (and how he was better than DeMar) whenever he had a good stretch too. I'm rooting for Pascal to make a fool out of me, but consistency over the course of a full season is really important.
