So there is hope, he can be similarly decent as DJJ from three, while having many other things in the bag. And above everything, he is much bigger and thus far better fit at PF against big teams, which there are plenty of. I can't imagine Mavs playing DJJ at PF against teams like Denver or Minny. Both LA teams also probably not.
To your point, I'm going to assume that Siakim's 4 attempts per game are a little tougher shots than DJJ's 4 attempts, too. So, your point is made.
IDK, I'm just a worrier, I guess. It seems like every move they make these days is a move towards worse spacing. I know there are other considerations, but I hope they're at least acknowledging the tradeoff when they consider this stuff (which we don't even know they're doing, come to think of it).
