Pascal’s continued 3-point struggles aside, one couldn’t ask much more from Siakam in a far too close for comfort win against the Wizards that felt like him, Gradey Dick and to a lesser extent Malachi Flynn and Jakob Poeltl were the only ones to show up until the 4th quarter.
It really cannot be understated how much of a mistake it has been for the front office to not commit to Pascal Siakam and watch his supporting cast disappear season after season, to say nothing of the questionable replacements, trades and roster construction since the bubble i.e. getting a non-shooting center to take away space to operate in the paint.
To be fair that non spacing center is one of his best friends. I’d be surprised if he didn’t like/want that move
