The 2014 NBA Draft will be a historic one for Canadian basketball, with as many as seven players from Canada - three of them as high as the first round - possibly selected. In the days leading up to the draft, TSN.ca and TSN Radio basketball analyst Duane Watson looks at some of the names that will be headlining the event. Tonight, Michigans Nik Stauskas of Mississauga, Ontario. Watch the 2014 NBA Draft on TSN, Thursday at 7pm et/4pm pt. Name: Nik Stauskas From: Mississauga, Ontario Played: University of Michigan Height: 66 Weight: 207 Position: Shooting Guard 2013-2014 Stats: 17.5 points, .442 3P%, 3.3 assists Breakout Game: 26 points, 5 assists, 5 rebounds in win vs. Iowa Jan 22nd. Accolades: 2013 - 14 Big 10 Player of the Year, Second team All-American Draft Projection: Middle of first round Comparable NBA player: Tim Hardaway, Jr. Nik Stauskas has become the poster boy for “hard work pays off.” After a solid freshman season, helping the Wolverines to compete in the NCAA championship game, two key teammates in Trey Burke (Naismith Player of the Year) and Tim Hardaway Jr. (NBA All-Rookie First Team) moved on to the pros. In only his sophomore year, Stauskas was expected to be a team leader, so he spent his summer adding muscle mass, working on his lateral quickness and creating his own shot off the dribble. Stauskass YouTube videos offer a glimpse into his incredible work ethic and the results of his second year were apparent; a Big 10 title and trip to the Elite Eight in the NCAA Tournament for the Wolverines, while leading the team in scoring and assists and named Big 10 Player of the Year. Stauskass greatest skill is his ability to flat-out shoot the ball. Unquestionably the best shooter in the draft with a quick release, Stauskas has little issue getting his shot off. His playmaking has improved and he can facilitate for others off of the pick-and-roll, forcing defenders to play him honestly. His quickness allows him to beat slower defenders off the dribble, rounding out his offensive game to be more than simply a spot-up shooter. On the defensive end, Stauskas needs some work, particularly with strength and quickness defending at the next level. Not a surprising drawback to elite shooters, but not one that cant be compensated for in team defences. Stauskas refuses to back down and that refusal to lose is one of those intangibles sought in any NBA prospect. When told that he would only be a shooter, Stauskas rounded out his game. When told that he couldnt carry a team, he led them deep into the NCAA Tournament. Steps to improve his defensive game are already underway, as any obstacle that is put in front of Stauskas has been overcome. His drive, coupled with his confidence, make it difficult to overlook a player with the aptitude and skills he possesses. Stauskas will continue to work and hone his game as he continues to prove that hard work pays off. Rashaad Penny Jersey .

Sebastian Janikowski Jersey . -- Another baseball tradition is about to largely disappear: a manager, with a crazed look in his eyes, charging the field and getting into a face-to-face shouting match with an umpire.England need not rush recovering seamer James Anderson back for the second Test against India, says Nasser Hussain. Anderson, on the mend after a stress fracture of his right shoulder blade, told Sky Sports on day one of the drawn first Test that he is hopeful of returning to action in Visakhapatnam on Thursday.But with only two days of practice scheduled before the next Test - and with Englands spinners having acquitted themselves well in the series opener - Hussain says the tourists should not make changes for the sake of it. Mike Atherton says the drawn first Test will feel like a win for England England are going to need their three spinners in the second Test - they probably wont need Jimmy Anderson, the former England captain told Sky Sports.I can see the same side being played. I cant see any reason to change the side and then maybe Jimmy Anderson comes in for the game after in Mohali.From what we hear, Visakhapatnam, from ball one will spin; it wont be ridiculous spin like Dhaka or Chittagong but conditions will be completely different from here. Head coach Trevor Bayliss tells Ian Ward that spin coach Saqlain Mushtaq will stay on with England From what weve seen so far here, England should be well equipped to cope with that. The way that Adil Rashid bowled was absolutely magnificent.India said before the game that they werent going to take England lightly because England have won the last three series against them.But they must realise now that their recent series against New Zealand and South Africa are a little bit irreelevant.dddddddddddd They have areas of concern. We hear from captains Alastair Cook and Virat Kohli after the drawn first Test In contrast, Rashids upturn in form coupled with 113 runs on debut from opener Haseeb Hameed have helped to boost England in the wake of their 1-1 series draw with Bangladesh.Hussain told Sky Sports after day four that Hameed already looks like he belongs at Test level and, after the contest was over, said the 19-year-old will only benefit from batting with Alastair Cook.England have tried a string of opening combinations since Andrew Strauss retirement but it looks as though theyve found a partner for Cook in Hameed - but it is only one game.He answered his questions in the post-match interview as if hed been around for years. He is unflappable, he is very calm. England opener Haseeb Hameed reflects on his Test debut It did him some good not playing on the two pitches in Bangladesh because he might have been wrongly assessed.Instead hes been around the set-up for a while and the team has taken to him. Hameed knows what he wants in the nets and guys like that generally go on and have good careers.Hell learn from Cook - hes got the greatest master he could wish for at the other end - but hell do it his way.Watch the second Test between India and England at Visakhapatnam live on Sky Sports 2 from 3.30am on Thursday.
