Strengths

Right-handed… Siva disappointed as a freshman, but possesses the talent and skills to be an effective point guard. He has excellent speed and quickness with the ball in his hands, who thrives running the transition offense scoring the ball in the lane or kicking the ball out to a teammate. He is always a threat to go coast-to-coast. In the half court setting, he does a great job running the offense and directing his team in the offensive set or creating opportunities… He is a top-notch ball-handler, which aides him breaking down the defense and scoring in the paint. He favors an inside-out move that is capable of leaving his man behind or a low-cross-over that can open up the entire offense… Siva is a good creator in pick-and-roll situations- taking the ball to the rim or dropping the ball off to teammates in the lane. If the defense hangs back, Siva has the ability to step back and knock down perimeter shots… Siva is a very good perimeter defender with the potential to get better. With excellent lateral quickness and active hands, Siva can become a lockdown defender and harass opposing ball handlers…
