Sounds like it's on the 12th!

How could they have had IHart?

They couldn't, unless they gave up walker or matherin, and even then NY may not have been willing to make a trade with he team that literally just knocked them out of the conference finals.

Everything you said is just plainly wrong. Shooting: Pascal Siakam is not Luke Kennard/Grayson Allen BUT: Restricted Area: 71% In the Paint: 50% Mid Range: 42% Corner 3 Left and Right: 45% Above the Break 3: 29% Free-Throw: 73% True-Shooting: 60.1% Can he shoot the lights out? Nope. But can he shoot? Yes. Especially if you slide him down to the corners to stretch the floor for you. Here is Jaylen Brown for you. Jaylen Brown: Restricted Area: 66.6 In the Paint: 52% Mid Range: 43.5% Corner 3 Left and Right: 37.5% Above the Break 3: 35% Free-Throw: 70% True-Shooting: 58% Keep in mind that Jaylen Brown is playing with one of the most stacked rosters in the last 5-years and that Jaylen Brown plays the 2. An entirely different position requirement from the 4. Rebounding: Pascal Siakam 2023-2024: 7.3 (Pacers/Raptors) Pascal Siakam 2022-2023: 7.8 Pascal Siakam 2021-2022: 8.5 I don't know where you got the idea that he does not get double-digit rebounds. Yup, he doesn't average double-digit rebounds but he has had multiple games where he went way above his averages. He also gets offensive rebounds at a decent rate of 1 OR per 3 DR Here is Bam Adebayo for you: Bam Adebayo 2023-2024: 10.4 Bam Adebayo 2022-2023: 9.2 Bam Adebayo 2021-2022: 10.1 Keep in mind that Bam is the full-time starting center for the Heat. He is not your 4, he is not running to leak out for a fast break, he is there for the rebounds. Being Double Teamed I can't give you the double-team stats anymore because Courtoptix has been removed from the NBA website, but Pascal Siakam was one of the most double-teamed players from 2021 to 2023. Consistently in the top 10 according to Courtoptix and producing 1.21 PPP for every double team. There are still screen shots showing this. The Knicks Reddit has one. www.reddit.com/r/NYKnicks/comments/14cnl4h/top_nba_players_last_year_when_double_teamed/ I could give you a deep dive in PPP, shooting splits, isolation defense and offense, PnR ball handling and roll man stats, but I do not have time. I want you to understand. Pascal Siakam is not a master of anything but he is REALLY GOOD at almost everything. Fun fact: In isolation, he is an elite defender. Players only shoot 25% when he is guarding them. This shot up to 38% when he got to Indiana. What's the problem? Well, Pascal has not been good at navigating screens and communicating switches since Marc Gasol left Toronto. Pascal is not a defensive basketball genius like Marc Gasol, Draymond, Lebron, or Jrue. It's almost like he needs somebody to be telling him how and when to switch. Scottie Barnes was probably doing this for him.

Thanks for letting us know you didn’t watch pacers ball last year.
