SALT LAKE CITY – Willie Cauley-Stein’s arrival with the Mavericks was great news for two former and now-current teammates of the 7-footer.
Justin Jackson played most of his first two seasons with Cauley-Stein while both were with the Sacramento Kings.
“I was hyped,” Jackson said when asked his thoughts of being reunited with Cauley-Stein. “I loved playing with him in Sacramento. Cool guy off the court. On the court, he’s a good teammate. I’m excited. I texted him this morning and he said he’s really excited to come join us. It should be good for everybody.
