The expansion of Willie Cauley-Stein’s game over the first half of the season has now taken him into the deepest of the deep: beyond the three-point arc. He is beyond saving. Once you go all the way back, you never go back.
He had actually hit another three before this, but since I didn’t make highlights of that performance, I get to ignore it. This is the first three that I, and many other non-Kings fans will have seen from him. Are you excited? Think back to when you first saw Skal Labissiere hit one from downtown. I remember it like it was yesterday, and I screamed like a little girl.
For some reason this one didn’t elicit the same reaction. I think it’s his teeth. Why does he want it to look like he hasn’t gone to the dentist in three decades?
