NM State’s relentless two-way force turned pro
In the 2015-16 season, Siakam was a WAC star who averaged 20.3 points, 11.6 rebounds and 2.4 blocks, making him a rare forward who could dominate the glass, protect the rim and score efficiently. The big differentiator: intensity and motor—he played with constant pressure, piled up double-doubles, and became an impact defender before his NBA leap. If a team wants a high-energy, versatile frontcourt piece who competes every possession and raises the physical standard, Siakam is exactly the kind of fit that changes a locker room.
