A pair of former Kentucky Wildcats just scored new NBA contracts.
The Houston Rockets have signed former Kentucky standout Willie Cauley-Stein. On top of that news, Mychal Mulder has also found a home for the upcoming season, signing with the Miami Heat.
Cauley-Stein came into the league in 2015, originally a top-10 pick in the draft. He averaged 7 points per game as a rookie on 56% shooting. However, the focal point of Cauley-Stein’s game, his rim protection, never truly found its footing. He averaged 1 block per game in 21.
