Summary: Stauskas is a gifted shooter with an excellent catch-and-shoot quick release, and has fantastic offensive awareness and IQ. He’s a capable passer and a good ball handler, enough so that there is talk of him playing some at the point. He won’t have the same immediate impact defensively, where he plays hard but lacks good fundamental technic or the length to stop most college players, let alone NBA players.

Stauskas is an all-around solid offensive player, and he has great awareness and makes the correct decisions. He’s a fantastic catch-and-shoot player, and this should transition over well to the NBA when he isn’t asked to be the team’s offensive focal point. He improved as a slasher this season, and is quick and agile enough to be a threat at attacking the basket. He shot 5.7 free throws a game this year (in 2012-13 he shot just 2.2 a game), and 20% of his offense was at the rim, where he converted at a 65% clip.

As a rebounder, there isn’t much to say about Stauskas. He doesn’t have the muscle mass to box out his opponents, and it wasn’t ever an area I saw too much effort put into. A 5.3% rebound rate is poor, but not a dealbreaker.
