Baylor plays high school teams in the summer?
August 13th, 2011 at 9:33 PM ^
Its the national team consisting of the best highschool players. We have been producing some talent the last 5 years, especially in the toronto area (they have more black kids lol). Nick's stock has been going up, hes played real well for his AAU team too.
August 13th, 2011 at 10:33 PM ^
amirite?
August 13th, 2011 at 10:46 PM ^
I kid though and there is a little turth to it, no doubt.
August 14th, 2011 at 12:06 AM ^
turth? one could argue that it is flase.

But while not all black kids are great basketball players, most great basketball players are black. I looked at a rivals top 50 a year or two ago, and there was one white kid on it. Cant imagine this year's is THAT much different.

They lost to Belgium yesterday, but beat the Canada Juniors team on which Stauskas was playing. Here's a Baylor centric news link:

It's very good that he can score like that against a college team right now. I am impressed at his long distance shot.

Stauskas has some serious game. He doesn't seem deficient in any offensive facet of the game. He can get to the rack and finish. He can drive and dish. He can obviously hit the 3-pointer. Free throws seem automatic. He cleaned up some offensive rebounds. He can elevate. What's not to like? Nice get, JB. I'm very excited to see him wearing Maize and Blue.

We're fucked.

Drake and Tory Lanez are from Canada!

If you think those nobodys are better than Snow, there's really nothing I can do to help you.

I wish I could thank you personally for posting this...

My older brother had this song on tape when I was real young, and I've heard it more times than I can count. I don't care if it's good or not, it's one of my absolute favorites.
EDIT: I will also do everything in my power to transfer all my MGoPoints to the first person that makes a football hype video to this song.

I had this CD when I was like 7 years old. If I remember correctly, it was orange and the title was "12 Inches of Snow". I still know the words to about 90% of this song.

He has an extremely quick release!
August 13th, 2011 at 11:17 PM ^
Wow, he is the real deal.

The StauskusBasketball channel at YouTube also has a video titled Nik Stauskas breaks Michigan Basketball 5 Minute 3 point record (73 with 1 ball), which includes this note:
The unofficial record at Michigan is 72 threes in 5 minutes held by Matt Vogrich. Nik got bored today and felt like breaking it. He did it on his 3rd attempt.

I counted 9 misses, so 73/82.
That's not a terrible percentage.
August 13th, 2011 at 11:54 PM ^
This is not the normal, half-step slow Canadian player I am used to seeing. Very quick release, great body control, good motor. Those are some nice numbers for a HS player against a college team.
August 14th, 2011 at 12:44 AM ^
He's either VERY undderatted or there is something about him that we all aren't seeing, namely defense. I wonder if he is below par defensively which is why people are not rating him higher.
That is only a guess though, it is just as likely that he hasn't gotten the exposure yet and with more publicity will be higher to the scouts.
August 14th, 2011 at 3:10 PM ^
Yes, it is really important to point out how I misspelled underrated while typing on my phone. Good job buddy, aren't you just so smart?
August 14th, 2011 at 3:19 PM ^
Way to stand up for yourself.

I did some research on his defensive game. Turns out, he needs a LOT of work. Check out how hard he bites on that head fake at about 4:15....

August 14th, 2011 at 12:51 AM ^
Uhhhhh.
August 14th, 2011 at 10:44 AM ^
Weird feeling that this kid is going to be pretty good for us... please stay healthy.
August 14th, 2011 at 2:23 AM ^
The Canadian Pistol Pete. Stauskas has sick handles, a beautiful quick shot, the ability to craftily get to the rim, and absolute confidence that he is the best player on the court.

SPEAK LOUDER! I CAN'T HEAR YOU!
August 14th, 2011 at 10:07 AM ^
...WHAT...

Shyla Stylez is from Canada. I doubt any of you would diss her!
