A little over halfway into the season, the Indiana Pacers stand alone as the worst team in the Eastern Conference and second-worst in the NBA (only ahead of the New Orleans Pelicans). Despite Indiana's struggles this season without star guard Tyrese Haliburton, Pascal Siakam is putting together a fantastic campaign and is putting the team on his back.
Through 43 games, the Cameroon native has averaged 23.8 points, 7 rebounds, 4 assists, and 1.2 steals in 33.8 minutes while shooting 48.4% from the field and 38.6% from deep. He is putting together another All-Star-level season and is playing some of the best basketball of his career.
