Rookie of the Year
Pascal Siakam
This is a tough one. The Raptors won the most of their games very early in the season, when Pascal Siakam was the starting power forward.
Ironically, that’s the same time fans and analysts alike were bellowing for a replacement. The Raptors are actually worse with Siakam on the floor but Jakob Poeltl has barely seen the floor at all this year so, Siakam wins by default…for now.
