Nothing wrong with showing off the money you're earning to your girlfriend. And for a guy who just turned 21 on Monday and will earn $2.29 million this year, a new influx of cash must still take some getting used to so it's understandable that Stauskas was excited. But what a rookie mistake to get caught photographing your money in public.

Anderson might have factored into why Stauskas was probably the most hated player in the Big Ten Conference during his sophomore season at Michigan. But when you have a girlfriend that looks like Anderson, it probably doesn't matter how many people hate you.

Stauskas was drafted eighth overall by the Kings after earning consensus All-American honors and being named the Big Ten Conference Player of the Year. An efficient scorer and a sharpshooter from three-point range, Stauskas shot 48.9 percent from the field and 45.8 percent from deep last year. He will join a Sacramento roster that features a host of young talent led by Cousins, Rudy Gay and Darren Collison.
