NBA 2019 Playoff X-Factors
Here are three guys, flying under the radar, who could qualify for the postseason.
Pascal Siakam, Toronto Raptors. Kawhi Leonard, the Raptors are the best players, but Sayakam is Toronto's most important puzzle piece. They leave and the entire team feeds off its power. Siakam is the most versatile offensive and is the conversation for the most advanced player in the NBA. If he can continue his upward trajectory, the Raptors bet well as they leave the previous conference.
Malik Beasley, Denver Nuggets. The Nuggets really need a grant from the versatile wings thrown at the Denver Splash Brothers, for the Warriors poses a threat. Given the meaningful minutes of his first season, Beasley has made the most of his chances and really earned the trust of Michael Malone. Like Siakam, if Beasley can improve on-the-fly this season, nuggets should be taken seriously as any team outside of Golden State in the Western Conference.
Rodney Hood, Portland Trail Blazers. For years, the Blazers didn't have a lot of fists outside of Damian Lillard and CJ McCullum. Along with the hood, Neil Olesi has acquired a multidimensional scorer that can provide some creativity with the second unit of the Blazers. The missing hood has struggled in the postseason throughout his career in both Utah and Cleveland, but if he is able to replicate his regular season
