Our backup guards next year (if there are no other changes) are Baldwin and Curry. Simons and Trent are the future. So, Stauskas is, imho, a practice player - a Pat improvement. Puzzling signing, really.
Should we sign Anthony Bennet? I think Layman is better than Stauskas TBH. We shouldn't have had Montero or Claver one the roster. Give me a Royce O'Neal/Torrey Craig type. Minimum contracts can be useful, if used on the right guys. Suckskas is not the right guy.
As Olshey's big summer acquisition, Stauskas is our LeBron James. Nik is to the Blazers as LeBron is to the Lakers. So everyone should bow down to Nik "LeBron" Stauskas. Nik "LeBron" Stauskas was an 8th pick and is no chopped steak. This guy can do it all. After economics forces Olshey to trade McCollum, Lillard will have options--Curry, LeBron, and Layman. Olshey is batting 2 for 3 this summer, which may indicate he thinks this is a baseball team.
Had a rough upbringing and has changed his life around since. But I don’t see what point you’re trying to make here either.
This probably appealed to Portland Stauskas shot over 42% from corner threes in each of the past two seasons.
67.1% of Nik Stauskas' shots last season were three-pointers, 40.9% of which were catch-and-shoot. He made 42.6% of these C&S opportunities - Pat Connaughton made 34.4% of his C&S threes. Okay that's a good Upgrade
I lust for a little SF dribbler, so I like Steakhouse. He will excel in the Stotts system. He and Turner fill the same niche. One will play and the other will sit. The job is Sausage's for the taking, if he makes shots.
I know it’s kind of stupid so feel free to reaffirm that for me, but it’s not the fact they signed Stauskus, it’s the timing of it that just makes roll my eyes a little. It was a few hours into FA when it was announced. Which means they targeted him...
