Pascal Siakam

Siakam was one game away from becoming a two-time NBA champion, but Tyrese Haliburton's Achilles injury was too difficult for the Pacers to overcome in Game 7 of the NBA Finals against the Thunder. Still, Siakam delivered another strong fantasy campaign, finishing inside the top 50 in eight-category leagues for a seventh straight season. During his first full campaign in Indiana, Siakam's production looked a bit different compared to his time in Toronto. He recorded fewer assists and attempted fewer free throws, but his efficiency spiked, shooting at least 52 percent from the field for a second straight season while posting a career-high 38.9 percent mark from deep. He also scored at least 20 points per game for a sixth straight season and missed five or fewer regular-season appearances for the fourth time in his nine-year career. Despite making the championship, the Pacers are trending in the wrong direction with Haliburton out for the 2025-26 campaign. They also lost Myles Turner to the Bucks in free agency. That leaves a lot of production holes across the board. Siakam should be a leading candidate to absorb as much usage and responsibility as he can handle, especially given Kam Jones, Tony Bradley and Jay Huff were Indiana's only additions this offseason. The Pacers will be looking for internal development from Andrew Nembhard, Bennedict Mathurin, Aaron Nesmith, Johnny Furphy, Ben Sheppard and Obi Toppin, but Siakam should be the Pacers' go-to player.
