Tag: Nik Stauskas

The Sixers may have gotten blown out at home by the lackluster Pistons, but they got something far more important than a meaningless regular-season win tonight: they discovered a heretofore undiscovered part of their CORE. That CORE piece that has recently been unearthed? Nik Stauskas. CORE. HARD CORE. Previously, their CORE consisted of these constituent…

DTB’S OFFICIAL RETRACTION: In a past video description I asserted that Nik “Sucksass” Stauskas was like a lesser version of Wayne Ellington. I would like to issue a retraction for that statement. Wayne Ellington would obviously never get seven assists in a game. He might get seven passes TOTAL in a game if he’s lucky….

Nik “Sucksass” Stauskas proved my assertion that he is a poor man’s Wayne Ellington by recording a very bare statline last night: no rebounds, and just one assist, one steal, and one block, to go with four fouls and sixteen points. Unlike, say, a Robert Covington, who always fills up the stat sheet with a…

Nik “Sucksass” Stauskas looked like a vastly improved player through the first month of the season. He was shooting 50% from the field, 45% from three, and it seemed like he might actually live up to the potential that caused the Kings (LoL) to draft him eighth overall (double LoL with extra lmao) back in…

Nik “Sucksass” Stauskas had a good first month of the season as he sucked a little bit less ass than is customary for him. However, it all came crashing down again in December, and he went back to being an inconsistent shooter who offers very little in the way of other skills. I suppose we…

Good news for Nik “Sucksass” Stauskas fans: he’s actually shooting well from the field so far this year, which means he theoretically might have a little bit of a future in the league maybe. However, his assist/turnover ratio is in the negatives right now, and it’s hampering my ability to use my newly created nickname…

Are 76ers fans still really pissed that Nik Stauskas even made the team? I feel like I saw a bunch of angry social media posts after the last player (Cat Barber maybe?????) was cut and Sucksass remained. Oh yeah, I wasn’t gonna use that nickname for him anymore. My bad. Anyway, I felt like it…

Finally, a game for Nik Stauskas that falls into the “actually good” category. I was beginning to wonder if it would ever happen. He’d had a bunch of “okay” games, which gave me hope, but even playing for the rotten 76ers didn’t elevate his play enough for him to ever score 20. Until now. Anticlimactic,…
