God chases after the feeding, does not want to eat, just does not want to eat.

A few hours ago, the Lone Ranger cut Willie Cauley Stein to make room for Marquis Chris, although only 28 years old, but Cauley Stein's NBA career may really end at this moment, to be precise, his basketball career, it is possible to end here, not by the small ball era, nor by injury, but his heart, never belonged to the NBA.

3 years ago, I watched an interview video produced by foreign media, in which Cowley-Stein said very frankly that he didn't really like basketball, even though he was now an NBA professional player...

Cowley Stein was born in a remote community, did not watch the NBA broadcast, did not know any basketball stars, although he thought about his future, may become a professional player, but that is also on the football field, before going to college, Cauley Stein has always been football, until he received a scholarship from the University of Kentucky, he was persuaded by head coach Calipari to change to basketball, although the contact time is too late, but with extraordinary talent, Cauley-Stein soon became a star player, In the 2015 draft, he landed in the NBA as the No. 6 pick.

Now, it may be that at the beginning, Cauley-Stein chose the wrong path, although he became an NBA player that many people envy, but in Cauley-Stein's heart, he never accepted the identity of a professional basketball player.

"I didn't think much about basketball at that time, it was just a game, it wasn't so important, I didn't think that one day, I would come here to work, in fact, I didn't take it as a job, but everyone told me that basketball is a kind of work, it's like this, I thought, what is it called this thing? Basketball is a game. ”

In the eyes of most players in the NBA, basketball is indeed a kind of work, but it used to be a hobby, so at work, even if it is high-intensity training, they will not resist, but will reap double happiness; and if you just play it, it is basically nothing to win or lose, the mood is good to practice, the mood is not good to uninstall, which day remember, and then download back to play.

Cawley-Stein is like this, and the main problem with his inability to cash in on his talent is his attitude.

Loose blocking: In the 18-19 season, Kausstein's number of invalid blocks and demolitions ranked first in the league;

Rebounding is not active: Even if you convert the data into 36 minutes, he only has 2 seasons of rebounding in doubles, and when the rebounding rate is the worst, it is only 14%, worse than many defenders;

Defensive inconcentration: As the best defensive player in the NCAA Southwest Division, guarding the basket has always been The selling point of Cauley Stein, but after entering the NBA, this has become his shortcoming, taking this season as an example, you can't imagine a big man with a height of 7 feet and an arm span of 7 feet 2, who will actually make the opponent shoot 67.4% of the shooting rate in the less than 6 inches area, and the defense is completely useless;

Off the field, Cauley-Stein is also lazy, almost every season can be reported that he is passive training, in the 2018 offseason, when others are to make up for the shortcomings, hiring a variety of trainers, Cauley-Stein hired a chef and a psychological counselor.

In the 19-20 season, Cauley Stein also briefly played for the Warriors, the best team in the NBA system, and also a maintenance station for fallen geniuses, where he also wanted to regain the recognition of the outside world like Wiggins and Otto Porter, but as a result, only 41 games were played, and Cauley Stan, who joined with a pay cut, was swept out.

In the past 2 years, Cauley-Stein has become obsessed with painting, often posting his new works on social platforms, completely forgetting his identity as a player.

After this cut, Cauley-Stein may devote himself to the arts, like the Bucks' genius interior lineman Larry Sanders.

We don't judge right or wrong, because everyone's attitude towards life and life is different, just a little sorry for Cauley-Stein's talent.
