Nik Stauskas – DownToBuck

Nik Stauskas 17 Points Full Highlights (3/18/2019)

For some reason, Nik Stauskas is in the midst of a contract year yet isn’t playing very well. His future in the NBA depends on him playing well right now but he’s not doing it. We all know that he knows that this is a contract year; how could he not? Fat NBA checks will…

Nik Stauskas 18 Points/5 Threes Full Highlights (11/28/2018)

The commentators asked a good question during this video: how much sauce is too much? This question can refer to a lot of things, so I will do my best to address some common sauce situations. -Buffalo wings. There’s too much sauce if the sauce is dripping off the wing. My philosophy is, at a…

Nik Stauskas 15 Points Full Highlights (10/22/2018)

There was a good chance, with the final game of the season ending with Nik Stauskas posterizing some Celtics scrub who shall remain nameless, that that was the last we would see of him in the NBA. Apparently, according to some interview, he thought so too. Sad, but he wouldn’t be the first high pick…

Nik Stauskas Career High 24 Points Trailblazers Debut Full Highlights (10/18/2018)

Much like Summer League Aaron Gordon (SLAG) has become almost deified in my mind, so too has Backyard Unstoppable Nick Stauskas (BUNS). That pre-draft backyard video of him in the rain shooting three-pointers has remained stuck in my mind for half a decade now, standing not only as a testament to BUNS’ literally wet shooting…

Nik Stauskas 18 Points/2 Dunks Full Highlights (4/11/2018)

I hope this isn’t the last we see of Nik Stauskas in the NBA. If it is, well, at least his final bucket was a huge poster dunk/staredown on Guerschon Yabusele. That’s a good way to go out. Some team will give him a contract for next season, right? Sauce Castillo (never really liked that…

Nik Stauskas 15 Points Full Highlights (1/27/2018)

Nik “Rain Curry” Stauskas hasn’t gotten as much run in Brooklyn as I had hoped. Things started off fine, but recently he’s been notching DNPs and hadn’t made more than two shots in a game in this calendar year. If he’s not shooting well, it’s hard to play him, I understand that. But DNPs? Kenny…

Nik Stauskas 21 Points/7 Threes Full Highlights (12/27/2017)

I don’t understand why the 76ers felt the need to try and destroy Nik Stauskas’ career by not playing him at the beginning of the season. He’s not great or amazing or anything, but isn’t another shooter just the thing to put around Embiid and Simmons? And not just any shooter, but a young shooter,…

Nik Stauskas 22 Points/5 Threes Nets Debut Full Highlights (12/15/2017)

“Trust the Process!” slurs the drunken Philly resident, having just finished throwing snowballs at Santa and vomiting on little children. “Joel Embiid is my favorite player! Hinkie died for our sins! We traded Stauskas? Good!” he yells as he takes another swig from his flask, and makes sure the batteries he will use to pelt…

Nik Stauskas 20 Points/5 Threes Full Highlights (3/22/2017)

Two 20-point games in a row for Nik Stauskas. Consecutively. Without interruption. According to DTB’S OFFICIAL CRITERIA FOR BEING CONSIDERED A GOOD BASKETBALL PLAYER, that means Nik Stauskas can be considered a good basketball player! Are you excited? You really shouldn’t be, because DTB’S OFFICIAL CRITERIA are noted for their shoddiness and their inability to…

Nik Stauskas 20 Points Full Highlights (3/20/2017)

I will reserve final judgment on Nik Stauskas’ career until after he gets on a team that isn’t dumpster-fiery. That doesn’t mean, however, that I’m going to stop using my “Sucksass” nickname for him, because that thing is really sweet and still relevant. Note that I refuse to use that other nickname for him, a…
