Straight out of the G-League, the former Wolverine who some of us wanted to draft, your newest Celtic, Nik Stauskas!!

See what Brad is doing here? Bringing in tons of shooters hoping one will stick.
It's open competition guys. You want to make the team, then shoot lights out and you have the job.

First guy who can play solid D and hit some shots, wins. Nesmith has proven he can play D and play hard, but he's been too amped up and now he's hurt. The door is open for someone. Who will walk through it?

Who will walk through it? Sam Hauser, Matt Ryan and Nik Stauskas are competing for the Sniper role, and Malik Fitts and Kelan Martin are duking it out for the physical wing defender opening.

I was one of those guys that wanted him back in the day! Hopefully he can make a spot for himself on this team.

It's been interesting see how a number of less athletic guys have developed the ability to shoot and score from well outside the arc.

And in case it slipped the mind, Stauskas isn't a 2 way player or player on a 10 day contract. We signed him to a 2 year deal.
Brad must like what he sees in Staus.
And if you watch, both Staus and Matt Ryan (and Malik and Kelan as well) have some swag, some attitude, some fight in them. That seems to be important to Brad and Udoka (as it should be -- that's why I think Jerami Grant will never be a Celtic).

Staukus was drafted way too high.. he would've been better off as a late 1st rounder going to the Spurs. His career would have been very different. Instead, he had so much pressure placed on him like Jimmer and crumbled under it.
Anyway here is to hoping he sticks. He could remake his career like a Duncan Robinson.

The year Stauskas came out I drafted him and Doug McDermott in one of my fantasy leagues. I figured at least one of them would stick with their outside shots. Both did well in summer league. I eventually had to trade them both. I also drafted Jimmer and Tyler Hansbrough back in the day. As you can see it took me a while to get better at keeper leagues.
