The model also knows Indiana forward Pascal Siakam has been a nice addition to the team. Siakam is a beast in the lane and has a secure jumper from the mid-range. He can also be a smooth passer. The two-time All-Star logs 22.1 points, 6.5 rebounds, and five assists per game. In the Jan. 26 win over the Suns, Siakam dropped 31 points, seven rebounds, and four assists.
