What’s the first thing you think of when you hear Nik Stauskas’ name? Vivek Ranadive getting the Kings’ war room to chant, “Nik Rocks!” on Draft Night 2014? The way that Ranadive said Stauskas “shoots like Steph and he's big like Klay”? The closed captioning mishap that led to the Sauce Castillo phenomenon? The way that he, Pik Swapkas, came to the Sixers after the team’s infamous trade with Sacramento back in 2015?
It’s probably one of those things, but the fact that none of those have to do with Stauskas’ actual on-court play is telling.
