If there is one thing the Raptors’ Pascal Siakam loves, it’s a challenge.
Be a better shooter.
Be a better defender.
Be a better ball-handler.
Be a better facilitator.
Whatever is asked of him, the young all-star welcomes it, thrives on it, is fully confident he will master it. But he ain’t seen nothing yet.
In the final third of the NBA’s regular season that began with Friday’s post-all-star outing against the Phoenix Suns, Siakam is going to have to do even more, be even better and handle even more responsibility, because the biggest basketball challenge of his life awaits in a couple of months.
