Nice hoop and harm for Stauskas on the drive. Take notes guys...

He's also big enough to guard most 2's so you could make him the backup while playing a few minutes next to Ricky. He's a shot creator which we need and his size will help him finish at the rim much better than JJ. He also looks like he could be a decent 2 way player which is something I think we need out of this draft.
He may be good someday, but he's not ready to come out this year...and certainly not a lottery pick. He has almost as many turnovers as assists this year, and needs to work on his shot. Looks like he has the potential to be a pretty good defender though.
Stauskas better dial it back a bit here, or he's going to play himself out of our range!

18 first half points for Stauskas. Efficiency is key. 5-7 FG, 2-4 3P, 6-7 FT.

Stauskas feels like a clone of Klay Thompson....i don't think he lasts after workouts.

If that's all he amounted to, I think we'd all take it. I don't see Stauskas being a stopper on defense like Thompson can be, but I think he'll be more well-rounded on the offensive side. Tough loss for his Wolverines, but that's probably a good thing for us.

Stauskas definitely had a better game tonight than the other ones I watched. If his shooting can translate to the NBA, he'd be a solid pick at 13. Not sure he'll be as good of a 2-way player as Klay Thompson though.

I think we're guaranteed to get a good player at 13 this year. This class is just so deep.
Could come away with one of: Stauskas, Hood, McDaniels, Ennis, J.Young.

If we were able to take our pick between Harris and Stauskas I'd go with Harris. Stauskas seems slightly better offensively but it's not enough to make up for how much better Harris is at defense. It's really too bad we won't be able to watch either one again after Michigan St played poorly and the refs blatantly cost Michigan the game.

I would have included Harris, but we need to be realistic. He's not going to be there at 13.

What about Napier at one of our picks in the second?
Why is he so undervalued? Seems a lot like Kemba to me.
