ESPN has released its latest Top 25 Under 25 NBA Player Ranking, and it should surprise no one that Toronto’s own Pascal Siakam has made it — and in fact has done quite well for himself, coming in at #12.
You can read the full list here (ESPN E+ subscription required), as compiled by ESPN’s Chris Herring, Bobby Marks and Kevin Pelton.
Now, given Siakam’s incredible season thus far, you might actually think that’s a bit low. He scored 44 points less than two weeks ago, after all! But it’s hard to argue that the names ahead of him don’t have legitimate cases, starting with #1, Giannis Antetokounmpo, and including Joel Embiid (#2), Ben Simmons (#5), Luka Doncic (#6) and Jayson Tatum (#10).
