Willie Cauley-Stein, Sacramento Kings:

Despite all the rumors on DeMarcus Cousins’ possible departure from the Kings, on draft night the Kings made a fantastic selection by snagging Cauley-Stein with the 6th pick. Cauley-Stein is a great defensive player and has an extremely high ceiling in the NBA. If Cousins does in fact stay in Sacramento, it may be hard for WCS to find minutes at the center position. I expect Cauley-Stein to see most of his minutes at the power forward position.
