Mentored by Luc Mbah a Moute, a 16-year-old Siakam moved to the United States of America. After declaring for the NBA draft out of New Mexico State University in 2016, Siakam was picked as the 27th overall pick by the Toronto Raptors - the same team he ended up winning his first Championship with.
The Cameroonian's basketball skillset has evolved exponentially over the years. He was a pivotal factor in getting Kawhi Leonard his second NBA title, as he averaged a career-high 17 ppg during the regular season as well as 19 ppg during the playoffs.
