The ideal starting 5 for Siakam is including at least 1 other All-Star, not just role-players
Preferably an All-Star at the 1 or 2 that can space the floor like Zach LaVine and function as a secondary playmaker

Probably depends where you see the line of “role player” ending. PG: Fred VanVleet (I know) SG: Austin Reaves SF: OG Anunoby PF: Pascal Siakam C: Brook Lopez
Could also swap in Maxey for Fred or Reaves to get some more juice in the backcourt.

You can plug in any shooting/playmaking 1-3 so I’ll leave that unsaid.
My big take is KAT is Pascal’s perfect pairing. They could run some filthy pick and pops and KAT would give Pascal that 5-out spacing he feasted on with Marc.

idc who else you put, but IT Jr. is the starting center unquestionably

If OG can play the 2 put Trey Murphy in as the 3

Could sub Caris Levert if Giddey or GT don’t count.

In terms of players that exist and would actually fit on a normal team’s cap sheet
Marcus Smart/ Derrick White/ Melton type – point of attack defence, spacing, playmaking. 2019 Fred could have been this player.
Herro / Maxey / Poole / Simons type – playmaking and 3 level scoring. These guys are always available
OG Anunoby – 👌🏽
Pascal
Myles Turner probably. Although Poeltl is probably fine because he’s a solid passer in the paint and his midrange game is good.

Even with perfect fit, Siakam + 4 role players is not awe inspiring.
