Magic Draft Profile: Pascal Siakam    New Mexico State's Pascal Siakam        Prospect Analysis Strengths
Weaknesses
NLL projection: Siakam declared for the draft but chose not to sign with an agent, giving him the option of returning to school if, after competing in the Chicago Combine, he doesn’t like his Draft stock.
2015-16 Season
Key statistics: 20.4 ppg, 11.6 rpg, 1.6 apg, 1.0 spg, 2.2 bpg, 2.1 tpg, 35.3 mpg, .536 FG, .200 3PT, .686 FT
Cool statistic: Siakam led all Division I players with 27 double-doubles. Of the 11 players nationwide who averaged a double-double, Siakam was the only one who scored 20 points a game.

What Insiders Say
What Outsiders Say What He Brings to the Magic: When the Magic sent away a future pick for a late 30's pick and cash people were thinking "hey, what!?!". The Magic were targeting Deyonta Davis and Cheick Diallo... Little did they know that a guy that went 27 in the NBA draft would still be on the board at 38. The Magic knew all about Siakam's game and how he had performed in the college season but assumed he'd be off the board. When the choice came, Diallo was there, the Magic's 2nd target of a group of three power forwards... But decided on Siakam. Why? "He's a better all around talent. It's quite simple actually. There's a reason he was picked in the first round in the NBA and i feel we've got a steal at 38. This young man has a high motor, incredible work ethic to get better and is a great rebounder. He's money from 15-17 feet and has a soft touch with good quickness inside. We'ere really excited to get him here." Said GM Laddas.
