NBA rookies have a great deal to get used to in their first NBA season: the schedule, the travel, the level of competition ... the money.
Sacramento Kings rookie Nik Stauskas seems to be adjusting just fine to that last one, though. On Wednesday, Stauskas' teammate DeMarcus Cousins caught the 21-year-old with a big stack out on the team plane. It appears the freshman was trying to snap a photo of the bankroll, but no such photo has turned up on social media yet:
Stauskas, who is earning a reputation for keeping it real, is set to earn $2.75 million this season. That's real.
