Nik Stauskas looked like a steal when he made his debut for the Brooklyn Nets on Dec. 15. The No. 8 overall pick in the 2014 NBA Draft had been acquired by the Nets in a trade from the Philadelphia 76ers along with Jahlil Okafor on Dec. 7 and made a big splash, literally.
Stauskas scored 22 points, hitting 5-of-7 from beyond the arc, in a blowout loss at Toronto that night and fans were excited by the possibilities of the knockdown shooter from Canada via the University of Michigan brought to the table.
