Nik Stauskas, a 3-point specialist whose basketball career has taken him from being the 8th pick in the 2014 draft to seven NBA cities and abroad, is reportedly signing a two-year deal with the Boston Celtics. The second season is non-guaranteed in 2022-2023.
While it’s pretty unlikely Stauskas can sustain his scoring average of 50 points per game from this past week in the G-League, he is someone who’s shown the ability to catch fire and light it up from downtown.
Ime Udoka typically likes to play the eight guys he trusts the most, but with Jaylen Brown and Aaron Nesmith out, Stauskas has at least a shot to earn some playing time in the short run.
