[AdSense-B]Nik Stauskas probably hasn’t had the type of rookie campaign for the Sacramento Kings that he hoped for. However, the No. 8 pick out of Michigan could see things change after recently getting a new nickname. Twitter user Andrew Unterberger had ‘Sauce Castillo’ as the name for Stauskas after he hit a three pointer pop up on his sportscaster while watching a recent Kings game.
My closed captioning just referred to Nik Stauskas as "Sauce Castillo" and I will never be able to not call him this again
