When Nik Stauskas got the call, that he’d been traded to the Nets, he knew he’d had a teammate he could lean on. Not only was Caris LeVert his teammate at Michigan. For two years, they were roommates.
“I’ve stayed in touch a little bit with Caris,” said Stauskas. “I didn’t know too much about how the organization ran. From when I got here last couple of days talking to Caris, all he says is (this is a) first-class organization on and off the court. And that’s something that I’m excited to be a part of.
