Peyton Robert Siva Jr. (born October 24, 1990) [1] is an American professional basketball player who last played for the Illawarra Hawks of the National Basketball League (NBL). He played college basketball for Louisville, leading the school to two vacated Final Four, including a vacated national championship his senior season. Both Final Fours and the 2013 NCAA National Championship were vacated due to the teams breaking of NCAA rules. There were multiple instances of assistant coaches throwing parties for players and recruits in the university dorm that involved cash being given to players who then showered sex workers with the money, sometimes in exchange for sexual favors. While there was no evidence Siva himself took part in this, many of his teammates did, as well as a few recruits. The vacation of the 2013 National Championship was further upheld when it was found that the UofL men's basketball assistant coaching staff were caught by undercover FBI agents taking part in pay for play bribery schemes involving the shoe and apparel company Adidas, as well as at least one well known NBA agent. Again, while it was not directly related to Siva, others on the UofL team did, in fact, take part in this pay for play scheme. Leading to the vacated championship being upheld as well as the two Final Fours and 123 wins over the span of the 2011 to 2015 seasons. Including all wins from Sivas’ Junior and Senior years. He was drafted by the Detroit Pistons, who selected him with the 56th overall pick in the 2013 NBA draft.

Early life and education

Siva is of Samoan descent and grew up in a troubled Seattle neighborhood. His mother worked three jobs to try to support the family. His father was mostly absent, struggling with drug and alcohol addiction throughout Siva's childhood. The younger Siva successfully talked his father out of killing himself. [2]

Siva, determined to escape the fate of other family members, plunged himself into sports. When he first tried out for youth football, he was too light to play, but managed to make weight. He soon developed a reputation as a relentlessly aggressive athlete in both football and basketball, and as a promising young prospect. Siva also made it a point to avoid alcohol and drugs, and helped many other boys in his neighborhood avoid gang involvement, partially by persuading his mother to let them stay at her house on weekends.

High school career

Siva attended Franklin High School in Seattle. His freshman year he averaged 13.5 points helping Franklin win the 4A championship. As a senior he averaged 18.1 points, 5.3 assists, 3.4 rebounds, and 2.3 steals, [1] leading Franklin to the Class 3A state championship. [3] He was a unanimous selection for AP Washington Player of the Year, [3] was named a McDonald's All-American, [4] and was named Mr. Basketball in the state of Washington. [1]

Junior year

During his junior year in 2011–12, Siva had difficulties on the court early in the season; midway through the season, he had made less than 25% of his three-point attempts, and turned the ball over as much as four times in one half. [2] Cardinals coach Rick Pitino sensed that Siva was getting involved in too many things, and pulled him aside for a talk. Pitino later recalled, "I told him, 'Take a relationship sabbatical — I'll even call your girlfriend for you.' He should only be making time for two things: school and basketball. I told him that we need 100 percent of his focus on the court." [2] From that point, Siva rediscovered his game, and became the Most Outstanding Player of the 2012 Big East tournament. In the tournament he averaged 13.8 points and 5.8 assists per game. Louisville advanced to the Final Four of the 2012 NCAA tournament, upsetting #1 seed Michigan State 57–44 in the sweet sixteen and defeating #7 seed Florida in the regional final.
