76ers' Nik Stauskas: Secures 15-man roster spot

Stauskas was able to claim a spot on the Sixers' Opening Night roster, Jake Fischer of Sports Illustrated reports.

Analysis:

Stauskas didn't appear in any serious jeopardy of missing out on a roster spot, as Brandon Paul, who was attending camp on only a partially-guaranteed contract, represented his primary competition. While he'll be able to stick with the 76ers, Stauskas figures to see a downgrade in court time after largely disappointing during his 24.8 minutes per game over 73 appearances last season. Stauskas could find himself out of coach Brett Brown's rotation while Gerald Henderson and Hollis Thompson slot in above him on the depth chart at shooting guard.
