Siakam: It's all because Cuba left the Raptors! Why didn't the Pacers trade Bushy Eyebrows?
If I want to say that the most suitable for the walker must be thick eyebrows, but thick eyebrows will definitely not be able to get them, so I can only find a substitute for thick eyebrows, in short, an interior line with excellent athleticism and independent offensive and defensive capabilities. I still have a high degree of skepticism about Sika's current pure strength, the Raptors' record has been hovering in the play-off zone over the years, Sika is mainly responsible, and Sika has not played particularly well since Leonard left.
But at least it's an All-Star, and the biggest name around Sika after Leonard is gone is at the level of Van Jordan. So it's still worth looking forward to, Sika is obviously a second ball-holding point and a second core, if you want to use Sika as a ball-holding nucleus, it must not work, the Raptors won the championship in the year VanVleet and Xiaoka held the ball, Sika faced much less defensive pressure and can be used at will, I am very optimistic about this kind of ball-holding big core plus a power frame in the middle distance black and hard, like Gordon fishing every year when he was in the Magic, when the magic boss didn't understand, he went to the Nuggets when the third was directly invincible, and wreaked havoc under the basket.
In fact, in terms of probability, the probability that the three newcomers who are selected can be selected to the level of Sika in the future is really not high. Every year, there are 3-6 newcomers who can play out to become All-Stars in the future, is there so many, but there are so many newcomers in the first round, and most of them are still sinking. What's more, newcomers still have a growth period, but Harry has already reached the harvest period, and he needs to be combative.
And don't underestimate Siakam, who is a real champion player, and he is not inferior to Lowry in terms of contribution value. The Pacers have never won a championship in their history, and now these people on the team haven't even played in the playoffs, so they need a mature star with winning experience to take them
But the Pacers' offense is number one, but this team doesn't have any killer moves in positional battles, running and bombarding the team, and once the opposing side slows him down, he doesn't have a move. A tall guard with a sparse defense and a lot of assists, a team with a sparse defense and a run-and-run team Now there's a forward who can attack on his own, and I only think about the Suns of Nash Smalls anyway.
In fact, if Xiaoka is willing to stay in the team, then the Raptors are definitely not the way they play now. The Warriors won't play merit basketball if Curry leaves. Although the management's approach is not directly related to Curry, if Curry stays on the team, the team will have a certain championship competitiveness, and the team will not be able to completely rebuild, but can only patch up. Take Thompson and Green as examples, if they didn't still want to play around Curry, how could the team get used to these two, especially Thompson.
