Expert Analysis

Siakam just earned his first D1 offer as James Madison pulled the trigger on him this week. Joaquin continues to get more impressive as he keeps getting more and more comfortable as a wing scorer. After going from unranked to top 20, it looks like Siakam is going to keep trending up, long term.

As a long term stock, Joaquin is a player to buy stock in now and hold for the future. Siakam makes the occasional really impressive play and also can disappear for stretches. As he gets more consistent in his effort and his body continues developing, he’s one of the higher ceiling prospects I’ve seen in this class off just a couple of viewings.

Potentially one of the best players in the class, Siakam is a lot like his uncle (Indiana Pacers star Pascal Siakam) with his ability to play inside and out. Right now Joaquin is a little bit of a tweener, position wise since we don’t know when he’ll stop growing. Able to shoot from three or attack the rim, Don’t be surprised if Siakam is one of the biggest stock risers in Kentucky next season.

Saturday was my first extended viewing of Siakam and I left impressed with the rising Sophomore. It took Joaquin a little while to settle in during 5 on 5 play in the afternoon but by the end of the day he had earned his All Star game appearance. South Oldham tends to not play younger kids a whole lot but if he’s given the opportunity, I can cee Siakam being a big time X factor for the Dragons this winter.
