Nik Stauskas interview on Campus Insider - Well worth viewing

Submitted by BlueCube on

While tracking down the Brady Hoke interview about Jabrill Peppers, I noticed a Nik Stauskas interview posted a couple of days ago. It's a little longer but it's worth viewing.

Great kid. The funniest thing is he doesn't have his driver's license yet. He said he needs to work on it but hasn't had time.

Nik is a really funny kid.

Love the mention of the Illinois halftime buzzer-beater.  Also hilarious that he doesn't have his driver's license yet.  Better work on that soon, won't be any time once NBA training camp starts!

Very charismatic. I thought it would take a while for me to like someone more than Trey, but Nik is slowly becoming my favorite Michigan player.

He also tweeted yesterday that during an NBA interview, a team asked him if he would rather win the ROY or tour/party with Bieber all summer...he chose wisely.

Very nice interview. Thanks for sharing.

Arguably two of Nik's best trash-talk moments - if you can all them that - didn't even involve actual speech, which is rather clever in a way. There was the shot against Illinois and, of course, blowing a kiss to Spartan fans. The play speaks for itself though, and in both cases - especially the Illinois game - the stunned looks of the crowd said more than enough.

Although I'm not a Lakers fan (at all) I would totally change my tune if the drafted Stauskas.  Apparently he's one of a handful of guys they're looking at, and it sounds more and more like he could jump into the top-10.

He'll probably arrange for some personal instructor, but the thought of Stauskas, being a 6'6" college basketball star/NBA player showing up to a large driver's ed program surrounded by 14-15 year olds is a bit funny.
