Raptors’ first-round pick Pascal Siakam: I’m ready to play in the NBA: Pascal Siakam’s first stint in a (pseudo) Raptors uniform was as impressive as it was short-lived. Siakam, a 6-foot-nine forward and one of Toronto’s two first-round draft picks this year, made his presence known on both ends of the floor in his first game at the NBA’s Las Vegas Summer League in July. In front of an energized crowd that included the Raptors’ original Junkyard Dog, Jerome Williams, he posted 12 loud points (and seemingly as many hustle plays) in 15 minutes of first-half action. -- Sportsnet.ca
