On February 23, Beijing time, according to NBCS Philadelphia reporter John Clark, Philadelphia is about to sign a 10-day short contract with free agent Cauley Stein, so can the 15-year No. 6 show be reborn in Philadelphia and become Embiid's qualified substitute?
Born in 1993, Cowley-Stein is 28 years old, which can be said to be in the middle of the year, his height has reached 2 meters 13, and his athletic ability is also excellent, if you only look at the physical hardware, Cowley-Stein is really very exciting.
But in the NBA, there is often a category of people, below the neck of the world-class, but above the neck, it is difficult to say, Cauley Stan is the typical representative of this type of player. He was extremely fit, and when he played for the Kings, he also had Embiid on the field. However, he also has inattention, easy to be depressed, which in turn leads to defensive distractions, butter hand mistakes on the offensive end, resulting in his own excellent physical fitness, but simply failed to reach the expected level before the draft.
Because of this, this season in the Lone Rangers in the face of a shortage of internal personnel, still unwilling to give Cauley Stein too many opportunities, he played for the Lone Rangers in 18 games, only got 1.9 points and 2.1 rebounds, after he was cut by the Lone Rangers in January, no team has been willing to take him.
Frankly, if it weren't for the fact that Philadelphia now has only two round rookies, Bussi, a No. 5 player, in addition to Embiid, I'm afraid they wouldn't have given Cauley-Stein a chance. And Cauley Stan, who can't even move Doncic, wants to get a long contract in Philadelphia, and I'm afraid it will have to be Harddam.
Of course, Harden's ability to drive a pie-eating center is extremely strong, so if Cowley-Stein still wants to save his career, is willing to change his thinking, and seriously does the work of blocking and dismantling the pie, then Harden at least takes him to a good contract, which should not be a problem. But if Cowley-Stein still has no change in attitude and thinking, then even if Harden is good at feeding cakes, it is estimated that he will not be able to save him, and Cauley-Stein will find a job in the NBA in the future, I am afraid it will be more difficult.
