On February 25, Beijing time, Philadelphia officially announced that the team signed Willie Cowley Stein with a 10-day short contract. This season, Cauley-Stein has played in 18 games for the Lone Rangers, averaging 1.9 points and 2.1 rebounds per game. On January 16 of this year, the Lone Ranger laid off Cowley-Stein, and after more than a month of leisure at home, he finally found a job.
A brief introduction to this player: Cowley Stein in high school, basketball and rugby doubles, with excellent physical qualities, he is dominant in both sports. But Cauley-Stein, who specializes in football rather than basketball, has envisioned himself in the NFL and becoming a professional player.
After graduating from high school, Cowley Stein joined Kentucky under the persuasion of famous coach Carripari and has since specialized in basketball. Cauley-Stein's performance in college was worthy of his monster-level physical talent and proved that Kalipari did not look away.
Cowley-Stein started his freshman season as Noel's bench, playing in 20 games that year, averaging 7.8 points, 5.5 rebounds and 1.7 blocks per game, shooting 63.9 percent from the field.
In his second year of college, Cauley-Stein made 20 starts in 37 games and gradually secured his position as the team's main center. That season, he averaged 6.8 points, 6.1 rebounds and 2.9 blocks per game. It was this year that Cauley-Stein became the NCAA's dreaded defensive gate.
Throughout his sophomore season, Cauley-Stein delivered a total of 106 blocks, ranking second in Kentucky's history single-season block list, and this year he also unlocked a single game 9 pot achievement twice. With this distinction, Cauley-Stein was named to the NCAA Southwest Division's Best Defensive Team.
In his final year of college, Cauley-Stein went one step further and was named to the NCAA Southwest Division's Best Team and All-Defensive Team, and was named the Division's Best Defensive Player. In addition to being a deterrent on the defensive end, Cauley-Stein is equally threatening on the offensive end.
His explosive body makes him a reliable endpoint in the eyes of his teammates, and wreaking havoc on the basket is easy for him. A slight jump is an earth-shattering kick, and God is really chasing Cowley-Stan to feed him. Centers are involved in fast attacks, and Cauley-Stein's mobility is well suited to today's small-ball trends.
Cowley-Stein's college performance has conquered countless people, and he has enough ability to be the perfect jigsaw puzzle for the center position of an NBA team. That's why the Kings picked up Cowley-Stein with the 6th pick in the first round of the 2015 Draft.
However, the stark contrast between the highly commercial NBA and college-only basketball is gradually disorienting Cauley-Stein. In an interview, Cauley-Stein said, "Basketball seems to me to be a game, it's not that important; I never thought I'd come to work in the NBA, and I didn't actually take it for work." ”
In the final season of the Kings, he was the first in the league in the number of invalid blocks. Once the best defensive player in the NCAA, after entering the NBA, he gradually became a defensive poke. This season in the Lone Ranger, Cauley Stein let opponents shoot 67.4% of the shooting rate in the area of less than 6 inches, which is simply "undefended".
Trees die, people move to live, and Cauley-Stein is only 28 years old after all, in the year of the fight. And he's tall, arm-long, talented, athletic, and can play better if he's focused enough. Speaking about the reasons for signing Cauley-Stein, Reeves said: "We need to find a substitute for Embiid! "The Emperor can easily order...
There is no doubt that Harden is a pie feeder, and I hope that Cowley Stan can play next to Dengo! After all, he is also a first-round No. 6 show!
