How many NBA 3 Point Contests will Nik Stauskas win?

I think he wins about 5.

Really they should put Nik in the contest this year and let him win his first.

Larry Bird and Craig Hodges lead the list with 3 wins each; Nik gonna beat that with ease.

Put Nik on his home court in Missassauga and he's unbeatable

This is actually a sort of cool idea. It would be interesting to see a year in advance what someone like Burke could do against current NBA talent. It could help NBA teams better evaluate early first round draft picks too, but obviously it's not likely to happen.

I think it's far fetched to say he's that good just yet and there's something about the 3 pt contest that makes even the best shooters in the world stumble.  For now, I'm just happy we have a 3pt shooter like him on our team and that he's got a few years before this is even a relevant topic.

The real question is how many gold medals will he win?  In hockey.  Probably a ton, since (a) he's Canadian, and (b) hockey is a low scoring sport where a 3-pointer would be super valuable.
