4. Willie Cauley-Stein

Here is a player I am really high on. He was also another player impacted by the trade of Cousins and it showed. The first game after the trade, Cauley-Stein went off on the Nuggets scoring 29 points and notching 10 rebounds.

Cauley-Stein is exactly the type of player the Kings (and all teams) need. He is a capable power forward and center, proving he is a versatile big man. We know he is an explosive dunker as well throughout his time at Kentucky and Sacramento.

He should be a key player next season with increased confidence as a big who can do it all inside the arc (he can’t hit threes) and that is a type of player fans should be excited about regarding Willie Cauley-Stein.
