Willie Cauley-Stein made his name known with the Kentucky Wildcats as one of the best rim protectors, if not the best, in college hoops. The 7-foot center averaged just 8.0 points per game through three seasons at Kentucky but coupled those with 2.2 blocks and 1.1 steals per outing.
Cauley-Stein was a menace on the defensive end, and that was supposed to translate well to the NBA. The No. 6 overall pick in the 2015 NBA Draft never quite found his footing in the NBA. He played in the league for seven years and was on four different teams.
