Presented with one chance to continue his ascent through the ranks of NBA players with more responsibility and a greater opportunity to lead his team, Pascal Siakam took it.
Presented with a second, he plans to keep doing more, to keep getting better.
With the Raptors eight games away from trying to defend the NBA title they won last year, Siakam is about to experience something he never has before. He will be the focal point for teammates and opponents alike in the cauldron of the NBA post-season. He will take a lot of the shots, get a lot of the attention, shoulder a lot of responsibility.
