Willie Cauley-Stein: apparently an unplayably bad basketball player this season? That’s what Kings fans will have you believe; I’m pretty sure they’ve already given up all hope with regards to this dude ever becoming good. I don’t watch Kings games enough to know for sure the quality of Cauley-Stein as a basketball player, so I’ll take their word for it. One thing that being a Sacramento fan does is it makes you very adept at identifying sub-par NBAers.
His stats don’t look that bad, though. They must not tell the whole story, which sucks for me, because I don’t think I’ve seen more than 30 minutes of game action for him on the season. And I don’t even remember how he looked in that game action. Must not have been too bad, but also not too good. Just floating around on the court doing nothing, probably.
13 points isn’t really highlight-worthy except that it’s his season high in points, and he WAS a top-10 pick last year, so presumably there are still some randoms out there who are hyped for him. This video is for you, randoms. Enjoy it, and pray that Cauley-Stein gets traded to a team that will give him minutes. Teams in China should do the trick.
