The Sacramento Kings rookie sharpshooter put down a dunk against the Pelicans’ Alexis Ajinca, 


During the second quarter of the Sacramento Kings 108-99 victory over the Phoenix Suns on Wednesday, The Artist Formerly Known as Nik Stauskas had his new identity revealed through closed captioning.

Did you hear that? That was the wail of a harmonica echoing across the Mojave. It’s the sign of the Sauce. Sauce Castillo is the name of the gigolo in a Sergio Leone film, one that has a vendetta against the posse that killed his father for control over the town’s water well.

As Nik Stauskas, the Kings rookie has struggled to find time on the floor, and is made somewhat redundant as a shooter on the roster. As Sauce Castillo, he makes plays like he did last night against the Pelicans

Poor Alexis Ajinca had no chance as Stauskas curled towards the basket. Stauskas finished the game with only five points in 19 minutes on the floor, but

With the meagre contributions of Stauskas, the Pelicans won the game 102-88. This was despite 23 points and nine rebounds from DeMarcus Cousins in the first half alone; Cousins would end with 39 points and 20 rebounds.

Cousins has already developed as a franchise centerpiece, but the loss demonstrates the obvious truth about the Sacramento Kings. Cousins needs help.

Where better to find that help than to pair Boogie with Sauce?
