Due to the recent new crown epidemic in the United States, a number of players have been recruited, but the league immediately introduced relevant policies, that is, every player who has a positive new crown diagnosis will get a new place for a signed player, and in the case of the recent bulls and nets, which are almost destroyed by the team, even the Toronto Raptors, the most stringent Canadian team with the most stringent epidemic prevention and control, have not been spared. After Anunoby and Siakam triggered the agreement one after another, the earlier Gary Trent Jr. also triggered the agreement was isolated, and the Raptors had no choice but to summon players from the development league, signing an NBA veteran on a 10-day short contract, he was the No. 8 Knicks Tauskas who had been the No. 8 draft in the 14-year draft.
The 28-year-old Stauskas, 1.98 meters tall, a professional forward and swing man, before being signed by the Raptors, there were several NBA teams that expressed interest in him, but as a Canadian player, he chose to join his hometown team, two and a half years away, and returned to the NBA stage again. The University of Michigan's main scorer averaged 17.5 points per game in a single season in his sophomore year, with a 45 percent three-point shooting percentage, and led the team to the NCAA Tournament Quarter-Finals, and was named the Top 10 Player in the Big Ten Leagues after the end of the season.
It is precisely because of this famous school that in the original 14-year draft, Stauskas was selected by the Sacramento Kings with the 8th pick in the first round and brought him into the NBA, but came to this famous fish belly known as the rookie graveyard, as strong as fredette, who was once louder than his name, "Lonely God" Fredette failed to play, Stauskas also failed to break this spell, in the case of McLemore, McCarham and other players of the same type in the squad at that time, Stauskas has very little playing time, and in the entire rookie season, he has only 15.4 minutes of playing time, averaging only 4.4 points per game, and the proud three-pointer is only 32.2% low accuracy.
After a brief year at Saskatchewan, he also packed up with Landry and Jason Thompson and was traded to the Philadelphia 76ers, and although the 76ers at the time won slightly more playing time than before, the best performance was only 9.5 points in the 16-17 season, with a 36.8% three-point shooting rate, poor performance on the defensive end, and unstable projection, Stauskas also continued his wandering journey, during which he successively moved to the Nets, Blazers and Cavaliers. That is to say, in just 5 years, Stauskas has changed 5 teams, which can be said to be a veritable tramp in the league.
After being abandoned by the NBA, Stauskas also chose to transfer to the European League and joined La Liga powerhouse Baskenia, but he wanted to return to the NBA, and did not give up this goal, in this year's NBA training camp, Stauskas signed an insecure contract with the Nuggets, but was severely laid off before the official start, and then he continued to play for the Raptors 905, a subordinate team of the Raptors Development League.
Fortunately, the heavens did not live up to this hard guy, in the case of the Shortage of Raptors manpower, Stauskas also got the hometown team called, after 2 and a half years to return to the official NBA stage, and as a projection of the good backcourt player, this time Stauskas can create a miracle like Thomas Jr. joining the Lakers? Let's wait and see.
