VIDEO: Pascal Siakam puts his defender on the spin cycle!

Pascal Siakam arrived in Indiana a few weeks ago, a consequence of the trade that sent Bruce Brown to the Toronto Raptors. The 2019 NBA Champion acquisition by the Pacers was a huge move this trade season and the results are beginning to show.

Siakam is a player who can inflict damage on offense from multiple flanks; he has good ball handling; physically he is a big player who can take smaller defenders to the post with ease; and he also possesses a dangerous enough three-point shot to make the opponents defense pay for giving him space.

Now that Tyrese Haliburton is recovered, Indiana is picking up the pace they started the season with, presenting themselves as a truly dangerous opponent for anyone in a 7-game series.

In this case, Siakam sees the clearance and gets ready to attack his defender, who manages to maintain his position after the first spin, but by the second one he can't do anything and Pascal just flies by. Excellent footwork fundamentals.
Against the Rockets, the former Raptors starter was unstoppable with 100% from the field in 4 attempts and seems to be going for more.
