My Take
Pascal Siakam is my favorite kind of NBA player: the perpetual improver. He came to basketball late, left Douala for New Mexico State, slid toward the back of the first round, and then simply refused to stop developing — Most Improved Player in 2019, a championship with Toronto that same spring, and now the steady engine of the Indiana Pacers. That spin move at 208 centimeters still feels vaguely illegal. What I respect most is his portability: every team he joins gets better, and so does he. If effort were a recorded statistic, Siakam would lead the league every single year.
