Adam Zagoria of Zagsblog.com spoke to a couple of NBA scouts last night and they were impressed with Kentucky’s Willie Cauley-Stein and his performance vs. Providence.

“Great athlete,” one NBA scout told SNY.tv. “Still a project at the offensive end. Can really run the floor for a big. Shot-blocker and rim-protector.

“I do not think he is nearly as talented or has the upside of [Joel] Embiid from Kansas or skilled like [Mitch] McGary from Michigan. He’s the third-best center in college.”

A second NBA scout disagreed.

“He is starting to figure it out,” he said of Cauley-Stein. “His upside is probably better than both of those guys.’

It would be hard not to be impressed with a 15 point, 8 rebound and 9 block performance.
