Pascal Siakam – 87 overall
Pascal Siakam’s 87 overall makes him the highest-rated Raptors player and ties LaMarcus Aldridge and Kristaps Porzingis for the third-best power forward in the game.
He’s pretty much the ideal 2K player. He’s faster than the average forward, he’s got a great inside game on both ends, and he’s solid on the perimeter.
Notable Attributes
Close Shot – 95 & Standing Dunk – 90
Siakam’s best attribute is his close-range shot. That, combined with his standing, dunk makes him relatively unstoppable in the paint. If you need a bucket, find Siakam in the paint and you’re almost guaranteed to get one.
Interior Defence – 86
Despite Siakam’s relatively small size, his length makes him an impressive interior defender. He won’t be putting up many blocked shots, but he’ll make shots difficult for opponents. The interior defence is what’s notable on that side of the court, although his skills on the perimeter are pretty good too.
Hustle – 95
Hustle shouldn’t be mistaken for speed in 2K. He’s not the fastest player in the game, but he’ll jump for every loose ball, contest the shots he’s close to and box out for rebounds. This isn’t the most important or flashy 2K attribute, but at least you won’t have to worry about what Siakam is doing when you aren’t controlling him.
Siakam is the complete package when it comes to 2K. If his three-point rating (77) was a little higher – which it should be since he shot 37-percent last season – he’d be the perfect player for the game.
