Opinion: Sacramento Kings should be leery of singing Willie Cauley-Stein long-term

Well, we’ve come a long way since I wrote this piece last month, detailing how Willie Cauley-Stein’s early season play could put him in line for a big contract with the Sacramento Kings.

At the time, Cauley-Stein was just starting to fall back into his old, inconsistent play, but had performed well to start the season. His play, unfortunately, has gotten more inconsistent while also trending down.

As Sactown Royalty’s Tim Maxwell notes, in his first 12 games this season WCS averaged 17.9 points, 7.9 rebounds and 2.3 assists on 59 percent shooting and was attempting over four free throws per game.
