NBC Sports’ Peter Socotch notes that Stauskas will make slightly more than the recently-departed Pat Connaughton and Shabazz Napier.
Nik Stauskas will make approximately $1.6 million next season under the terms of the NBA's minimum salary. For reference, Connaughton made $1.47M last season, Napier $2.3M #ripcity
