Willie Cauley-Stein(#0)Height: 7-0 Weight: 240 lbs. Position: Center Born: August 18, 1993 in Spearville, Kansas Age Drafted: 22 College: University of Kentucky Source: Basketball Reference |
Strengths
9ft 1 standing reach with great leaping ability, quick and athletic enough to guard quicker peremeter players.
Will make his money in the league as a defender, solid not elite shot blocker
Improved offensive game, especially as a ft shooter though still a long way to go to being solid there.
More of a rim finisher than an a shooting type, he gets a lot dunks, jump hooks and highlight plays
Soft hands, decent passer
Weaknesses
Stamina could be an issue short term as he did not play a bunch of min cause of the depth Kentucky
shot 33% from the line early on in college, did get it up to 65%
Lacks a great touch, and his upside on upside is limited
I wouldn't say he has a poor basketball iq, but does lack a natural feel especially on the offensive end
Notes
Very raw offensive player that should come in and help teams on the defensive end. Because he is light on his feet he should defend the pick and roll well as he should be good at switching and guarding smaller quicker players as well as the size to bother the bigs and block some shots. Not a guy who will commit a lot of fouls, or go for a ton of shot fakes.
