Nik Stauskas Profiled on NBADraft.net
NBADraft.net recently put together a write-up about Nik Stauskas's draft prospects:
http://nbadraft.net/players/nik-stauskas
The grade they gave isn't keyed to a projected pick slot, but having used that site in the past to follow the draft, it usually is equivalent to a second rounder. For what it's worth, their latest mock draft has him as the projected 33rd pick, but 49th best on their Big Board.
Although it is not the most positive/flattering line and many will disagree with it, they sure did troll the "not just a shooter" drinking game: "Although he's viewed as more than just a shooter, his lack of overall speed could relegate him into being a one dimensional (spot up threat) pro"
I would love to see Stauskas beat these expectations!
[EDITED to fix projected pick and big board position]

I think NBA teams should have a dedicated scout to every college team that produces NBA prospects. That one guy would know the team in-and-out the same way we do and could avoid all the bullshit that comes through nationally. No one that follows the team would ever think of NIk as "Somewhat nutty/unpredictable" based one literally one incident where he "Decided it was a good idea to throw his shoe into the Cameron Crazy crowd after it came off during game."
Also he was still hurt during the Duke game. Sounds like this profile was written by a dookie.

Nik needs to lead Michigan deep and back to the Final Four, get drafted in the first round and make a rookie impact in 2014/15 NBA season. That way recruits can see that Beilein can even make a Canadian white boy good at basketball and get him drafted in the first round!

Pro comparison: Casey Jacobsen
NBADraft.net continues to bat 1.000 in terms of race-based pro comparisons. Impressive.

Look at his improvement from last season to this season. Obviously not going to see that kind of jump again to next year if he stays but I am sure he'd definitely improve his overall game (and draft position).
Note: I am being selfish since I'd love him to come back next year.

When will people stop looking at nbadraft.net? It literally has no validity as an nba draft website.
February 15th, 2014 at 1:25 PM ^
But it has "NBA" and "draft" in its name... it must be valid!

They have LeVert as a first round pick in 2015 and McGary as a second round choice in 2015 as well. What really has me puzzled is not seeing GRIII on either the 2014 or 2015 mock.
