Willie Cauley-Stein (WCS)

As the season progressed for Cauley-Stein, he got better on both ends of the floor. As a defender, Cauley-Stein was efficient as he showcased versatility, hustle, and aggression when defending opponents. As a result, he was able to get his rebounding numbers up and cause havoc towards his opponents.

In terms of his offense, Cauley-Stein was a pleasant surprise. Not only was he able to expand his game outside of the paint, but also showed that he has the ability to pass the ball efficiently for a player of his size. Overall, Cauley-Stein was excellent when given the playing time he deserved. His performance this season is another reason why Kings fans are hopeful of their franchise going forth.
