2. Pascal Siakam
Pascal Siakam won the "Most Improved Player" Award last season, but with the season he has been having so far, it would not be wrong to put him at this stage of the season in the MVP discussion. Even though he might not be at the level of James Harden or Giannis Antetokounmpo at the moment, the Raptors's star is definitely one of the most impressive players in the NBA at the moment.
Siakam led his team to victory in Portland last night, against the Trail Blazers, as he scored 36 points, and got 6 rebounds and 3 assists. He also did well from the 3-point range, as he got in 4 shots out of 7. Without Lowry on court right now, Siakam is the main engine of this Raptors's team, and the young player is definitely not disappointing at the moment. The scary part is that we can feel that Siakam can actually get way better than this.
