ANN ARBOR -- Nik Stauskas' reputation as a shooter is growing.

Shortly after posting his latest 3-point shooting YouTube video Wednesday, the Michigan guard got a shout out -- and a challenge -- from Golden State Warriors star guard Stephen Curry.

"3pt contest sometime @NStauskas11 ????? this is Impressive," Curry tweeted, linking Stauskas' video.

Curry led the NBA in 3-point makes this season, and shot 45.3 percent from downtown -- third-best in the league.

Stauskas -- who went 70 of 76 from deep, in the rain, in his latest video -- set Michigan's freshman record for 3-pointers made last season with 80. He shot 44 percent from deep.

Obviously, Stauskas was thrilled with Curry's challenge.

"Thanks for the s/o bro! Im always down fot a 3pt contest, wouldn't mind going up against the best shooter in the world!!," he tweeted. "I love waking up to a challenge by the best 3 point shooter in the world!!! Today might be a good day HA!"

Currently, Stauskas' latest 3-point video has more than 17,800 views on YouTube.
