Season Averages: 2.3 PPG, 0.6 RPG, 1.4 APG, 0.4 SPG, FG% 31.6, 3PT% 28.0, FT% 73.3

Siva, who was drafted with the 56th pick of last season’s draft, played the bulk of his basketball in the back end of the season. Siva, a national champion at Louisville, has a solid offensive game, although in the longer term his size may prove an issue. He spent much of his season in the D-League with the Fort Wayne Mad Ants, and next season could see him do much of the same.

In need of improving: Shooting. Siva needs to either improve his shooting, or become a pure point guard, because if his shooting  continues like this season, he’ll find himself regularly benched.2

Grade: C-
