Raptors’ Pascal Siakam makes his case as NBA’s most improved player Globe_Sports
Toronto Raptors forward Pascal Siakam controls the ball as Oklahoma City Thunder guard Russell Westbrook defends during a game in Toronto, on March 22, 2019.Pascal Siakam confidently launches shots he may not have dared attempt in previous seasons. He makes plays during times of the game when he would have been sitting on the bench.
“It changes because he’s shooting the ball better,” Atkinson said. “I think at first you could ignore his shot. Now it’s like you’ve got to respect him from 3 and I know he’s worked on it extremely hard, so that changes it. The Raptors made major changes after they were swept out of the post-season by LeBron James and Cleveland in consecutive years. Dwane Casey was fired even after winning coach of the year honours, and All-Star DeMar DeRozan was dealt to San Antonio in the trade to bring in Kawhi Leonard.
“I don’t know who else is even really up for it, who the voting’s between, all that stuff. I know that if anybody’s done more than this kid, has improved more, has impacted the team more and continued to improve from even geez, 20 games ago,” Raptors coach Nick Nurse said. “He just keeps taking another step forward, there has been no steps back.
