I know Pascal is not a great shooter, but I have no doubt he’ll be better on the Pacers. Simply because Haliburton makes everyone a better shooter. He’s getting everyone better looks than they would otherwise. I saw a stat towards the beginning of the season (which could have changed by now, tbf) but Turner’s 3P% WITH Tyrese was 40%. And without Tyrese it was like, 32%. So Tyrese makes a big difference. Would not be surprised at all if Pascal’s average gets closer to league average. And a guy like Toppin is looking like a way better shooter than I thought he would be thanks to Haliburton. Even Jalen Smith has been a good shooter this year.
Starters: Ty, Ben, Nesmith, Pascal, Myles Bench: TJ, Buddy, Jalen, Isaiah In a 10 rotation add either Nembhard, or Obi depending on need. TJ has shown he is core to this team and Nembhard has struggled in many games. I want to get Nembhard in rotation but he's not yet earned the minutes like TJ has. Pascal will be our best defending PF, Nesmith will improve at defense getting closer matched sized, Ben will be on the floor with 3 solid defenders as "role models". Basically its our 8 best defenders and Buddy lol.
Nesmiths defense isn’t bad and you can tell he gets it from Tj. Ben with jrue holiday defense would be crazy in excited for him and this new trade we will see yall in the playoffs
i love how everyone is not understanding the level of defence that Siakam brings to this team. even in your video you start off by saying "i don't think he's a great defender anymore" but then you proceed to explain how and why he's a good defender 😂 he might not be this major defensive stopper, but having a 6'8/6'9 Pf be able to switch onto a 1-5, will be able to boost this defense, especially when mixing and moving on defense with Turner, one of the best defensive centers in the game. i 100% believe that with Siakam the Pacers will go from bottom 5 in defence to 10-15, making them on par with the Bucks as semi-contenders
That's not what I said, I just said he's not the same level he used to be. They'll improve defensively, but I'd be very shocked if it landed anywhere near the top 10.
Also, all of the defensive skills/tools I mentioned only make a difference with the motor, which I think has been a noticeable issue for him for 3 or so years now. We'll just have to wait and see.
We lost by 3 points not whooped at all. And that was halis first game back after his injury. Siakim just got threw out there with hardly no sleep or practice so it was all on the fly. We will be better
Rick Carlisle is a stone age coach. He keeps cold players in the game series after series when he has hot players on the bench. He calls timeouts when the cold players are blowing the game up but doesn't take those players out? They should be 2nd or 3rd in the East. Coaching problem.
I don't know much about his rotations, but his X's and O's are far from stone age. The way he's unlocked the pace and space, Hali's game and the role players with an advanced offensive system has helped them get to where they are.
THIS IS A REAL VIDEO...UNLIKE THE OTHERS...U KNOW THE LAKER GUY WHO GIVES AROUND 11 MINUTES OF VIDEO, BUT MOST OF WHICH ARE JUST INTERVIEWS FROM OTHER PLAYERS
People also forget that Pascal Siakam has proven to be a 2nd option on a championship team because when Toronto won the championship in 2019, he was the perfect number 2 to Kawhi so people can't sleep on that!
I’m a simple man I see Pascal appreciation I like

Pascal needs that Canadian citizenship. Dudes story is as Canadian as it gets. Shai/Jamal/Wiggins/Pascal/Olynik can move me.

The raptors had terrible spacing with lack of shooters, he should improve just by default imo.
Once him and hali gain some chemistry this teams gonna be even more fun to watch
No doubt, can’t wait for it
This is such a good video!! Really informative and easy to follow, amazing breakdowns!
I'm glad you enjoyed!
I believe siakim and Halliburton will be a insane duo!
I’m with you there, can’t wait to watch them play more!
He better than some would think . Watch he will make a surge
Agreed!
Great video. I was never a huge fan of his game, but man... this is sutch a grat fit. I can't wait to see them play
They’re now the showtime pacers
Sorry babe, I’m running and gunning to the HoopVenue video he just dropped like I’m the pacers
I love pascal on the Pacers. i hope it does work out because on paper, it looks good 👍
Agreed!
Stopping a Hali ans Pascal lead offense with shooters will be difficult to stop.
This kind of comments are freaking annoying.
They continuity was on point before Halli went down I don’t see how this is not obvious great vid!
Glad you enjoyed!

Man that's an awesome rotation, think about the ages too!

Where did you find the mid range stats at?
There are a few places you can find them, I usually go to either thinkingbasketball.net or pbpstats.com.
As a pacer fan from Indiana when you said Mike dantoni’s son’s… I was hurt
Why's that? Lol.
We hate New York I grew up watching miller time 🎥🍿🍿
Pacers "P" logo gonna look good on Spicy P.😊
I think he'll enjoy being here enough to actually resign, contrary to his prior comments about FA
Pascal on my fantasy he a goat
Hoop venue video on Siakam 🫣
Yessir
great analysis
Thanks!
Hoops venue !!!!
Yes
Listen to this line up miles5 Smith 4 Pascal 3 neismith 2 Tyrese 1 top 5 starting line up in the league
Fire!
He’s kinda like a 6”8 SGA
He reminds me a lot more of Dejounte in his approach tbh
Nice video
Thanks!
W video
Appreciate it!
What has regressed from pascal defensive game since 2019?
his effort due to the load he has to take on offense
I'd say it primarily comes down to motor, some athleticism, and maybe he had better processing speed then.
I loved this video.
Glad to hear it, thanks for watching!
They supposed to be better n they just got whooped by the blazers 😭😭.
clips lost 6 straight and look at them now
We lost by 3 points not whooped at all. And that was halis first game back after his injury. Siakim just got threw out there with hardly no sleep or practice so it was all on the fly. We will be better
It's 1 game...
I’m happy my pacers got him🎉🎉🎉 Let’s go spin man
I forgot about the beyblade memes 😭

Do you think it makes them a legit contender to win it all? I think their defense will hold them back in the gritty playoffs styles
I wouldn’t give them that label for this season, but they’re still really young. If they can make some noise, resign Pascal, I love their future.
this did not age well
It's been one game... lol
They just lost to the balzers
