NBA ROLE: SKILLED, ATHLETIC PIVOT

Willie Cauley-Stein: a defensive-oriented pivot w/ great athleticism; WCS checks most boxes: nice help-side shot blocker, can switch out on almost anyone as a hedge man (guards have a tough time getting around WCS when he steps out to defend); gets the majority of his points via lob catches, layups & in transition (runs the floor like a forward); improving range on J: right now, WCS is able to convert floaters and short Js; developing better focus on the glass should lead to more minutes; can play a little too fast: gets hurried up (needs to polish up timing); finisher/shot-blocker in Dallas
