I swing my scepter of disapproval at this new nickname for Nik Stauskas. “Sauce Castillo”. I thought we had already discovered and agreed upon the correct nickname for him.
Nik Sucksass.
Get it? Because he kind of sucks ass right now? Instead of pantomiming stirring a jar of sauce after hitting that three, he should have gotten down on his knees and pantomimed putting his lips to some dude’s hairy asshole and sucking like there was no tomorrow.
I shouldn’t be so hard on him. It’s not his fault that people/the Kings FO watched that video of him shooting in his backyard in the rain and developed overinflated expectations for his NBA play. And he hasn’t been SO horrible. Just really bad for where he was picked.
I kept waiting for him to have a legit good game this year. The Kings were bad enough that it probably should have happened. This will have to do, one short of a career high in points, a career high in threes made, a career high in assists. It’s not 20, but it’s fine, I guess. It will tide me over until next year.
