Sixers' Stauskas expects his Big Ten form to return

GALLOWAY TWP, N.J. – Nik Stauskas wants people to know that making three-pointers is one of his strengths, but not the only one.

"I feel like a lot of people know I can do more than just shoot the basketball," the 76ers shooting guard said. "People kind of figured that out in college [at Michigan]. Now it's just a matter of taking that next step of proving that in the NBA.

"I'm confident I'll be able to do that."

The Sixers acquired Stauskas from the Sacramento Kings along with power forwards Carl Landry and Jason Thompson [who was later traded], a 2018 protected top-10 draft pick, and the right to swap first-round picks in 2016 and 2017 in July.
