Pascal Siakam impresses in his Skills Challenge debut, but can't win it all

In his first-ever All-Star appearance and his first Skills Challenge appearance, Pascal Siakam took on a former winner of the competition, Patrick Beverley in a match-up where none of the commentators picked him to win. Something of a parallel alongside his career.

But then, he put up a clinic in the first round, slaloming through the dribble course before a perfect pass through the hoop. From then on, it was plain sailing. Beverley struggled with the pass and that gave Siakam the chance to streak away for the lay-up and then come down and hit the three-pointer.
