On March 3, 2022, Beijing time, the NBA Development League has another high score! Thomas Jr.'s former teammate Stauskas continued his excellent play. In the Nuggets' development league team, the Grand Rapids Gold Nuggets, faced the Lakeland Magic, they beat their opponents 124:119, and Stauskas still showed his extremely competitive form!
He shot 16-of-21 from the field and 9-of-13 from three-point range, and set a statistic of 43 points, 6 rebounds and 5 assists, after playing 43 minutes in the last game against the Wisconsin Deer, shooting 20 of 29 shots and 11 of 15 three-pointers, and had 57 points, 6 rebounds and 5 assists!
In these two games, his play is too crazy, shooting 36 of 50 shots in two games, shooting 72% from the field, shooting 71.4% from 28 from 28 three-pointers, scoring 100 points in both games, and contributing an average of 50 points, 6 rebounds and 5 assists per game.
Thomas Jr. previously scored 124 points in three games with the team, and then was signed by the Hornets and played. And Stauskas played more in these two games than Thomas Jr. His outside shooting ability is really too incomprehensible, shooting 20 three-pointers in two games with 71.4% shooting, which is also rare in NBA teams!
Now the Los Angeles Lakers are in a dilemma, the team's shooting ability from the outside is very limited, often in a period of time out of the scoring drought. So signing a pitcher may also be a solution to the problem for them, and if the Lakers can give Stauskas a chance, maybe he will give the Lakers a bigger surprise!
