Willie Cauley-Stein has been pushed for here already at OMD.

He is defensively exactly what is lacking from Orlando’s rotation right now, and he is slightly better than Dewayne Dedmon offensively, already.

Cauley-Stein is not good offensively, to be clear, but in the right offense and with the right adept point guard (see: Payton), he will find his buckets in much the same manner Tyson Chandler has. Chanlder has carved a full career even without a strong offensive game.

He is capable fully of flushing it down hard when Payton drops it to him, and that type of play has even rendered Dedmon competent for large tracts of time.

Next: Sam Dekker
