Stauskas on the Gary V Podcast

By Bluegriz — February 15th, 2018 at 11:31 AM — 12 comments
Filed under:
  • MGoBoard

  • nik stauskas

Update: Here's another link, a 19 minute interview with just Stauskas as the focus:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7KRO4AU4rWc

============================

Are there any other Gary V listeners on mgoblog??  

Gary just had Stauskas on for a podcast session. It's an open discussion with Gary, Nik and two others so you may or may not want to listen to the whole thing.

Podcast link: https://www.garyvaynerchuk.com/podcast/

You can also watch on YouTube:

Nik talking about Michigan: https://youtu.be/QXrNph4RqyI?t=10m39s

Talking about being on the court with Lebron: https://youtu.be/QXrNph4RqyI?t=28m14s

I enjoyed listening and thought others might as well.

OTish: Nik Stauskas Highlights from last night

By Cali's Goin' Blue — March 23rd, 2017 at 4:37 PM — 9 comments
Filed under:
  • MGoBoard
  • basketball
  • nik stauskas

I know someone posted about how Nik has scored 20 in the last two games, however I happened to watch the game and it reminded me of a certain first half Nik had against Florida this weekend in the tourney 4 years ago(SPOILER: He goes 5-5 from deep in the first half on some tough shots). Thought some of you might enjoy the reminiscing on this great basketball day.

Requiem for the Fresh Five

By Alex Cook — April 5th, 2016 at 3:49 PM — 41 comments

  • 2015-16 season review

Fresh-5

With the news that Spike Albrecht will be transferring for his fifth-year senior season, the last member of the “Fresh Five” departs Ann Arbor. The 2012 recruiting class – Mitch McGary, Glenn Robinson, Nik Stauskas, Caris LeVert, Spike – were all rotation players as freshmen in March and made it to the national title game: for a brief stretch, they were all on the floor together in the Georgia Dome as Michigan raced out to a first half lead over Louisville. Mitch, who was so impactful in that tournament run, was lost to injury as a sophomore; with Nik, Caris, and GRIII leading the charge, Michigan won the Big Ten and made it to the Elite Eight.

In those two seasons, the Wolverines won 59 games, posting a 27-9 record in Big Ten play and going 8-2 in the NCAA Tournament. The three-year span from 2012 (when the Fresh Five were seniors in high school) to 2014 (their sophomore year) will probably be considered the apex of the Beilein era – the ‘13 and ‘14 teams were the best offensively in all of college basketball and true national title contenders. As far as recruiting classes – and five-man lineups – go, Albrecht / LeVert / Stauskas / Robinson / McGary is about as good as you’ll get in college basketball.

Mitch thrived after he lost weight and, with the help of Trey Burke, became one of the best players in the country in March as a freshman – physical, energetic, and lethal in the pick-and-roll. Nik blew up as a sophomore, won Big Ten POY, and was drafted in the lottery after excelling as the team’s sharpshooting alpha dog. GRIII started and played big minutes in a complementary role for two excellent teams before leaving for the NBA (and sticking with a team). Caris was a phenomenal second banana as a sophomore and developed into an very intriguing NBA prospect in his own right. Spike was always a good backup point guard, an offensive sparkplug and a stable rotation cog – and developed into a capable starter as a junior.

Depending on LeVert’s health, there could be four of the Fresh Five in the NBA next season. Hopefully we’ll get to see Spike play well at his next stop and light up somebody in the NCAA Tournament a year from now. Because talent is so fleeting in college basketball, the window for these guys at Michigan was pretty small – just two seasons. Beilein made the most of those two seasons though and the Fresh Five helped elevate Michigan to a level of success it hadn’t seen since the Fab Five while playing a brilliant kind of offensive basketball – elite shooting, pick-and-roll mastery, and GRIII thunder-dunks.

Unfortunately, fate was cruel to Mitch, Caris, and Spike.

Duncan ties Nik for season made 3 pointers.

By champswest — March 17th, 2016 at 2:26 PM — 42 comments
Filed under:
  • MGoBoard
  • 3-pointers
  • basketball
  • duncan robinson
  • nik stauskas

With last nights win over Tulsa, Duncan Robinson tied Nik Stauskas for fourth place in single season made three point field goals at 92 and needs one more against Notre Dame to tie Louis Bullock for third place. Current standings: 1. Bullock 101, 2. Glen Rice 99, 3. Bullock 93.

In 2013-14, as a sophomore, Nik made 92-208 for a .442 average in 1281 minutes played in 36 games.

Duncan has played 1002 minutes in 35 games and has made 92-206 for a .447 average.

If that isn't close enough for you, Bullock made 93-207 in 1997-98. So, if Duncan makes his first three point attempt against ND, he will tie for third place on the same exact number of shot attempts.

First Playing Time for Glenn Robinson III + other UM NBA Players.

By Smoothitron — November 4th, 2015 at 10:48 PM — 37 comments
Filed under:
  • MGoBoard
  • basketball
  • Glenn Robinson III
  • Mitch McGary
  • nik stauskas
  • Tim Hardaway Jr.

In his first playing time for the Pacers, GRIII made a big impact with 10 points on 3-4 shooting(4/5 FT); he also chipped in 2 boards and a steal in 19 minutes.  Perhaps most importantly, he found himself on the floor with the score tied and less than a minute left against Evan Turner, Jared Sullinger and the Celtics.  The preseason noise about his development might not be the mirage it appeared to be after starting the season with 4 straight DNPs.

Stauskas started again for the Sixers and currently has 14 points, 5 boards, and 2 assists in the 3rd quarter, albeit not very efficiently(5/14 FG, 3/10 3pt)

Tim Hardaway and Mitch McGary's teams are both in action tonight, although neither have played.  McGary has 4 quality big men in front of him in OKC, while Tim Hardaway appears to be the literal last man off the bench for Atlanta at this point.

 

Final lines:

Robinson: 10 PTS, 3-4 FG, 4-5 FT, 2 REB, 1 STL, 1 TO, 19 Minutes
Stauskas: 14 PTS, 5-19 FG, 3-14 3PT, 1-1 FT, 7 REB, 4 AST, 4 TO, 35 Minutes
Hardaway: DNP-CD
McGary: DNP-CD
Burke: 17 PTS, 7-13 FG, 1-4 3PT, 2-2 FT, 2 REB, 1 STL, 2 TO, 26 Minutes
Crawford: 8 PTS, 4-15 FG, 0-3 3PT, 5 REB, 1 AST, 1 STL, 20 Minutes
