Pascal Siakam has yet to shoot over 50% from the floor in a game this postseason 17 points (6-16 FG) 13 points (5-16 FG) 20 points (9-22 FG) 26 points (11-23 FG) 19 points (6-14 FG) 18 points (4-13 FG) https:///7Fh5rSp7j8 Big fraud |

Memberclub: Average? Anunoby, has a big heart and plays hard on both ends of the floor. Made some big plays today and kept his cool under pressure while Siakam and some others couldn't handle the pressure. He is a good player with the potential to improve. 1 Like |

Memberclub:Siakam is not very average mehn. Not top tier for sure, but not average. He’s a good lieutenant just not a franchise player. At this point 2 Likes |

mattfeuter:If you are an all nba team and you are not elite, then what are you ? Do you realize that being all nba means you are one of the top 15 guys in the league for that year ? |
Re: The NBA Begins by steady986(m): 12:58pm On Sep 02, 2020 |
mattfeuter:But that's not average either |
Re: The NBA Begins by A40(m): 1:05pm On Sep 02, 2020 |
I think folks were starting to give the Raptors without Kawhi too much credit. I did a bit of that with Siakam too but we've forgotten so quickly who they were before The Klaw came to town. A lot of analysts were falling over themselves to almost downplay Kawhi's efforts. Let's see if they recover As for the Jazz vs Nuggets all I can say is the best center in the league argument has been put to bed. I don't want to hear guys compare Embiid to Jokic ever again And for the Jazz that were shamelessly and cowardly tanking to duck the Rockets only to wind up blowing a 3-1 lead. Se o tan yin? Obiii! 1 Like |

Afr0mentalist: All nba Third team? Nobody gives a shittt about that if it’s not first team and yes , siakam is average. |
Re: The NBA Begins by mattfeuter(m): 1:49pm On Sep 02, 2020 |
steady986: Do you consider demar derozan elite or average ? |
Re: The NBA Begins by etidy: 2:03pm On Sep 02, 2020 |
This is not elite though? etidy: |
Re: The NBA Begins by Afr0mentalist: 2:08pm On Sep 02, 2020 |
mattfeuter:You don’t give a Bleep bro, that’s just you. I say it again. All nba team is made of the 15 people that are voted and regarded as the best in a given season. If you are an all nba selectee, you belong to the top 15 out of the of players of that season. That’s about 15 over 350 or so. And the all nba selection and voting system is even less biased than the MVP. So yeah, far from average. But you know, opinions are like ass.holes. 1 Like |
Re: The NBA Begins by etidy: 2:09pm On Sep 02, 2020 |
Siakam is a robbin not a batman he can be the second or 3rd best player on a championship winning team but number 1? Nah. At the moment he's not even playing as the 2nd or 3rd best player on the raptors. And lastly, as a small forward in the league where would you rank siakam I have LeBron, Durant, Kawhi, PG, Tatum, Jimmy butler ahead of him. Ingram and jaleyn brown? He's probably on their level. |
Re: The NBA Begins by Afr0mentalist: 2:12pm On Sep 02, 2020 |
steady986:Mid range Chris Paul or KD are for me more lethal. I mean the point God with his unique shooting. He owns the mid range, just as KD |
Re: The NBA Begins by mattfeuter(m): 2:13pm On Sep 02, 2020 |
Afr0mentalist: Oga, so what’s your point ? We already know all these you typed. You said Siakam is not “Top Tier” and not average. Which is it?? You can’t even pick a side. Ps: your attempt at sarcasm was lame. 1 Like |

etidy: Facts. |
Re: The NBA Begins by Afr0mentalist: 2:20pm On Sep 02, 2020 |
mattfeuter:So in your manichean mind, there is only top tier, average and mediocre? Well that’s just you! As for me, there are grades in being good. Tier 1, 2 and 3. Then there is average, and faillure! Tier 1 is for the Currys lebrons Kd hardens and what not! Tier 2 I would put the PGs, Westbrook, Lillards etc. Tier 3 there belongs people like mc collum, or Siakam ! Then average And or promising people or people whose potential is yet to manifest fully ( Schroder, Kuzma and the likes. Then average people, and finally mediocres! 1 Like |
Re: The NBA Begins by Afr0mentalist: 2:22pm On Sep 02, 2020 |
etidy:Is it not what my first post on this matter said? Or you guys just want to argue ? |
Re: The NBA Begins by etidy: 2:27pm On Sep 02, 2020 |
Afr0mentalist:LOL I am not the one arguing with you? I am just passing my own assessment of him. Anyway this argument boils down to how we classify players. Siakam is not a mediocre player, but he's no superstar either. |
Re: The NBA Begins by mattfeuter(m): 2:27pm On Sep 02, 2020 |
Afr0mentalist: This was the caveat you could have put out earlier but hey, In your words. . . “Opinions are like assss.holes” |
Re: The NBA Begins by Afr0mentalist: 4:08pm On Sep 02, 2020 |
etidy:I agree with this. You guys mainly classify players in two groups, which can’t be true. Ok Siakam is not a superstar (which is not even the topic here) let me agree for the moment. Is he average ? Is Mac collum average ? Is Kuzma average ? What about Porzingis ? Do you rank them al the same under “not superstar” ? Or average ? |
Re: The NBA Begins by Nobody: 9:08pm On Sep 02, 2020 |
Afr0mentalist:na WA o Siakam and Porzingis are better than those other two. |
Re: The NBA Begins by Afr0mentalist: 9:36pm On Sep 02, 2020 |
alexxiswrites:That’s exactly my point. Some guys only see 2 groups. Elite / superstar and average. Meanwhile In reality there are different degrees and shades of greatness. I would not say Siakiam is a tier 1 (franchise player) or even 2, but he is a very good and solid lieutenant tier 3, and very far from average. If you say an all nba (Most likely) is average, what about the many others. That’s exactly my point. |
Re: The NBA Begins by steady986(m): 12:26am On Sep 03, 2020 |
mattfeuter:He's above average |
Re: The NBA Begins by steady986(m): 12:30am On Sep 03, 2020 |
mattfeuter:Who says so? As good as AD was this year, he would not make first team because those positions would be occupied by Giannis and LeBron. Kawhi won't make first team as well. |
