Indiana Pacers forward Pascal Siakam has been placed at No. 8 in HoopsHype's ranking of NBA power forwards heading into the 2026-27 season. The Cameroon native is coming off a 2025-26 campaign in which he played 62 games and averaged 24 points, 6.6 rebounds, 3.8 assists and 1.1 steals per game, while shooting 48.4 percent from the floor and 35.8 percent from three-point range.
One year earlier, the 32-year-old Siakam averaged 20.2 points, 6.9 rebounds and 3.4 assists across 78 appearances, shooting 51.9 percent overall and 38.9 percent from beyond the arc.
HoopsHype praised Siakam's driving ability. "Pascal Siakam uses his great quickness, length and ball-handling to get to the rim against slower opponents and finish around the basket," the outlet wrote, adding that the Cameroonian is "a very underrated playmaker."
Siakam has earned All-Star honours in each of the past two seasons and is set to benefit from the return of Tyrese Haliburton, who tore his Achilles in last season's NBA Finals loss to the Oklahoma City Thunder and is scheduled to come back for Indiana's opener against the New Orleans Pelicans.
