For The Nick Stauskas Die Hard Fans

[TANTRIC-NINJA]

Best case - Klay Thompson 2.0

I'm warming up to Stauskas, although I think he will struggle initially.

I think Nick will be better off the dribble than Klay who can be clumsey and awkward on dribble drives.

Klay is a bit overrated IMO other than being a streaky deep shooter. I hate watching him play bc he just does a lot of wasted motion and makes mistakes he should not at this stage. He just plays dumb too often.

[IamSoClutch]

Ill take him or either Zach Lavine

The good thing is this draft is loaded with SGs that in most drafts would go top 10. SG is a position we need to upgrade big time. So we should get a starter from this draft or atleast a really good player off the bench because I do expect us to sign a SG FA. Who knows what will become of Hendo

[MedellinHeel]

We need the number 9 pick to be a starter. Fug a bench player there.

Hendo is going to start over any SG you get at #9, so getting a SG would indeed be getting a bench player who would play only 15-20 minutes a game. Hendo would have to be traded for anyone of those guys to start.

If McRoberts opts out there is a glaring need at the 4 to replace his talent. Point forward with dribble drive and 3 point range.

If he doesn't then the team is looking at bench depth/talent no matter what position they take.

Hendo is out the door either this season or next. He will be a 6th man here or be traded. 

 

And lets be real Staus and PJ are better than Hendo right now. Especially for our team.

They both have major deficiencies in their game, they wouldn't start over Hendo till he's traded or his contract expires. Period.

The fug with taking into consideration fit 

 

lol 

 

Both those guys should and would start over Hendo given the makeup of our team if the coach was putting the best complimentary team on the court.

This.

 

PJ could probably win the job in camp or preseason, BUT

Stauskas would IMMEDIATELY be penciled in as the starter at the 2 spot.

No, the fact that Nik is a horrible on ball defender and a just as bad team defender. Then you have his lack of lateral quickness and short reach, which shows he has little room for improvement on his defense. At best he'll become a below average defender in the NBA.

You need to be an elite athletic prospect, have size and skill going for you or be a two way player to be a top ten pick for me. He doesn't fit the bill on any of those three.

So not only do I not think he would have a chance in hell of starting over Hendo, I wouldn't draft him at 9. Maybe if charlotte still had the Chicago pick at 16th, but not at 9. No way in hell. Only one player in this draft I'd start over Hendo right away and that's Wiggins.

Do you know how bad of a defender Harden is? Yet I dont think anyone would question taking him top 3 or 5 in a draft. 

 

And when is 6'7 reach on a SG short reach? Also, he proved he has adequate quickness and vert at the combine ahead of other SGs. 

 

You Hendo's cousin? lmao

[MedellinHeel]

In my opinion Staus is the most complete offensive SG to come into the league since Harden. Just look at all the bells and whistles he ticks. 

 

Lights Out Shooter (Curry Lvl) - Check 

Good Ballhandler - Check

Good Passer / Facilitator - Check

Crazy Efficient - Check

Great Size - Check

Solid Athleticism - Check (decent vert and 2nd overall lane agility of SG's at the combine) 

 

New vid I havent seen posted here yet.

Nah, not Hendo's cousin, just playing devils advocate like always. Id rather go after Hayward, play him at the 2 and go after a stretch 4 or SF in the draft.
