Stauskas looks pretty good
Newly acquired Nik Stauskas didn’t have a perfect game. He was slow and overly aggressive defensively, picking up four fouls in 15 minutes. He also went zero-for-two from beyond the arc.
But overall, he looked like he could be a vey productive contributor for this Blazers team. He moved off the ball nicely, showed tenacity when defending, and revealed some smart passing. Oh, and he also crossed up Grayson Allen:

If Stauskas can clean up some of his defense and drill threes consistently, I will be very excited for him. He can fit in as a supplementary creator and spot-up shooter.
