Nik Stauskas' shooting ability sounds almost too good to be true.

Michigan Wolverines coach John Beilein conveyed a sense of wonder when he recently recalled one of Stauskas' first college practices as a freshman in 2012. In one drill, Beilein said, Stauskas sank 78 out of 85 attempts from 3-point range.

There's no denying how well Stauskas shot the ball during his two seasons at Michigan. After he sank 44.0 percent of his 3-point tries as a freshman, he sank 44.2 percent of his 3s as a sophomore and also was named the 2013-14 Big Ten Player of the Year.

The guy can shoot, and he's better with the ball (as far as ball handling and passing) than most guys that shoot at that level. Plus he's got a little size, which hopefully will help him finish around the rim a bit better than his athleticism would lead you to believe.

If he can defend the 2, he could be a real asset to someone.
