Of course his performance is not bad, but the Pacers forward player actually has potential to tap?

In the previous NBA Eastern Conference G1, the Indiana Pacers, ranked fourth in the Eastern Conference in the regular season, defeated the New York Knicks, ranked third in the Eastern Conference in the regular season after a tough overtime battle, 138-135 after a tough game. After this game, the Pacers successfully completed the following draws, gained a 1-0 advantage in the first round of the series, and regained the home advantage.

In this game, Pacers' starting lineman Pascal Siakam performed well. Siakam played 42 minutes and 44 seconds in the whole game, made 7 of 16 shots, 0 of 2 from outside the three-point line, and 3 of 5 free throws, and scored 17 points, 5 rebounds, 6 assists and 2 steals. He also had 2 fouls, with a plus-negative value of +8. Siakam still maintained a good level in this game. He showed good scoring ability on the offensive end and got the points he should get. He also created some threats in the opponent's inside. Although the outside shooting feels mediocre, Siakam also showed good passing ability and support ability and used his personal ability to help the team open up space. Siakam also performed quite well on the defensive end, and he also proved that he was a reliable defender. Siakam also played the role he should play and made a huge contribution to the team's victory.

In the NBA regular season this season, Siakam played a total of 78 games in 82 games, averaging 32.7 minutes per game, averaging 20.2 points, 6.9 rebounds, 3.4 assists, 0.9 steals and 0.5 blocks, and 1.4 turnovers and 2.4 fouls, shooting percentage of 51.9%, three-point shooting percentage of 38.9%, and free throw shooting percentage of 73.4%. In the playoffs, Siakam averaged 33 minutes of playing time in the first 11 games, with averaging 18.6 points, 6.1 rebounds, 3.4 assists, 0.3 blocks, and 1.1 turnover and 3.2 fouls. He shot 53.5% from the field, 41.7% from three-pointers and 64.9% from free throws.

Siakam also maintained a stable level during the playoffs. His offensive efficiency and three-point shooting percentage were generally able to maintain a high level. He also performed well in passing and supporting, and he was able to show his value on the defensive end. Siakam's performance is not particularly outstanding, but at least it can play a key role in most games. It is not easy to perform like this on the Pacers' egalitarian basketball. In fact, Siakam still has some potential to explore, which will also make us more optimistic about the Pacers' prospects in this round of the series?
