Nik Stauskas

Stauskas reads to me as a classic specialist whose value lived and died by the perimeter shot. Going eighth overall in 2014 after a dazzling Big Ten Player of the Year season at Michigan set sky-high expectations, and I think that gap between draft hype and a journeyman NBA reality says more about how the league misjudges pure shooters than about him. A 6-foot-6 Canadian gunner who could heat up in a hurry, he is the kind of role player I quietly root for. What I admire most is the nerve it takes to keep launching when the bright lights demand a make.
