These last 13gms sure seem like Siakam is right back to his peak form again....and arguably even better than he was at the start of last year.
You can see the change in approach - fewer 3 pointers and more free throws resulting from him going back to driving the lane at every opportuntity. But this time now suddenly he's improved into a legit passer - a big jump in assists and a drop in turnovers. that's a new skill for him. and you can see the increased confidence has helped juice him at the defensive end too - more steals and blocks and less fouls. Even better is that he could take this form and just add a few more 3pt attempts (but this time without changing his whole approach), and suddenly he's at a pretty elite level.
