Pascal Siakam is out there on the court flying around at 100 miles an hour from the first minute he plays until the last, fuelled by a seemingly endless supply of energy that Raptors coach Dwane Casey calls the forward’s “gift.”
He beats small, quicker opponents down the court routinely. He blazes away from other big men like they were standing still, as they sometimes are when the blur goes past them.
He’s perpetual motion and it’s his most effective tool because hard work — constant and tireless hustle on every possession — is a skill.
