Is Pascal Siakam currently being held down by Kawhi Leonard? Let’s take a look at the facts:
-Siakam scores seventeen PPG more in games where Leonard doesn’t play
-Leonard can be seen trying to play defense on Siakam when they share the court
-Siakam shoots 8% from the field on possessions where Leonard comes within five feet of him, and 2% on possessions where one has to pass the ball to the other. In contrast, Siakam shoots 84% from the field on possessions where Leonard is on the bench sulking
-Siakam is currently being held down by Leonard
-Written manifestos titled “I hate Pascal Siakam” have been found in Leonard’s locker, bearing Leonard’s handwriting
-Siakam is too humble to demand that Kawhi get traded even though it is in everybody’s best interest (especially Siakam’s because he is so limited by Kawhi’s presence)
-Siakam only averages two touches per game in games where Leonard scores more than twenty points
As you can see from all the points outlined above, Pascal Siakam would be way more of a beast than even his current level of beastitude, if only Kawhi Leonard were to somehow leave the team. Luckily for Siakam, Leonard is 100% going to the Clippers this season so he doesn’t have to endure too much more of this.
