Pascal Siakam, All-Star starter, hasn't fully rediscovered the level of play he was at before being sidelined by an injury. But against the nyknicks, there were signs he's well on his way to getting back there. By: michaelgrange l WeTheNorth

that, as wonderful as his seemingly out-of-nowhere path to the NBA All-Star game has been, it hasn’t unfolded in a straight line.

But he touched on a larger point: Just as the NBA world has come around to what his teammates and Raptors fans have known for some time — that Siakam is a serious talent — he’s mired in his first slump of his breakout season.won’t be on his season highlight reel, but there were some signs of progress.

And while Lowry’s ability to make winning plays in big games has become his calling card, there is little question that his willingness to bring his ‘A’ game — even against the Knicks — is a part of his identity that coaches respect as well. But for the Raptors to be their best they need Siakam to be at his best, and he hasn’t been as of late.

Before he got hurt he was averaging 25 points and eight rebounds a game while shooting 46 per cent from the floor and 39 per cent from three. Elite production.
