Why Pascal Siakam and the Hawks are a match made in HEAVEN | Ice Spice to ATL???

I’ve been debating back and forth about whether adding Pascal Siakam is the right direction for this Hawks team to take, especially considering how stingy the Raptors are and Siakam entering UFA next offseason.

Regardless, the Hawks’ interest in Siakam and his unique skillset is proof that the front office has finally realized a huge hole on the roster. His ability to put pressure on the rim and unlock new levels of versatility on both ends could be game-changing… but the Hawks may just be able to replicate some of his potential impact with pieces already on the roster.
