Kings fans had totally given up on Willie-Cauley Stein by the end of his tenure with the Kings. Actually, they had given up on him well before he finally signed a contract somewhere else. The fans at that “somewhere else” place, the Warriors, also tired of him quickly when it turned out that he couldn’t be assertive or energetic even on a depleted team where those traits mattered more than having actual skill.
How long until Mavericks fans are done with him? They had already become weary of Dwight Powell’s limitations (not being a good enough rebounder for his size, basically), and Cauley-Stein is actually a similar enough player where they’ll pick up on his downsides really quick. In fact, Mavs fans might already be frustrated with him and I’m just not aware of it. If there are any Mavs fans out there watching this video, can you tell me what your unfiltered opinion of WCS is? No filter. This is a safe space.
You know what my unfiltered opinion of this guy is? He’s taking minutes away from Boban Marjanovic. That is not cool at all.
