Nik Stauskas To Stay With Team Canada For FIBA Americas Despite Struggles

The 21-year-old made final cuts.

After sitting out Las Vegas Summer League, Nik Stauskas was given the chance to showcase his talents as a part of Canada's men's national basketball team in the 2015 Tuto Marchand Cup.

The tournament definitely didn't go as planned for the 2014 first-round pick. He started all four games Canada played in, but Stauskas' numbers were certainly underwhelming. He averaged 4.5 points per game while shooting 28.6% from both the field and beyond the arc. His best performance came against the Dominican Republic, where he tallied eight points and six rebounds in 26 minutes of action.
