#3: Pascal Siakam’s jump shot is looking nice
The big asterisk on whether or not the Toronto Raptors could make a deep postseason run was if Pascal Siakam can improve his jumper. It might be a short sample size, however, it’s a good sign for things to come.
Siakam is currently shooting 47 percent from the field, and exactly 50 percent from three in his first two preseason games. His three-point shooting has definitely improved, but his discipline when it comes to taking shots has been very impressive thus far.
