Willie Cauley-Stein (C, SAC) - NBA Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in Standard Leagues for FG% and BLK

OWNED IN: 17% of Yahoo! Leagues

ANALYSIS: The rookie out of Kentucky has bounced back after a stretch of fantasy irrelevance and is earning more minute from George Karl. Willie Cauley-Stein has played at least 20 minutes in two out of his last three games and is looking like someone who should be grabbed back off the waiver wire by owners hungry for help in blocks and rebounds. On Wednesday, Cauley-Stein put up 12 points, grabbed 10 rebounds, as well as contributing two steals and two blocks.

Even though he isn't playing starters' minutes, WCS is still showing double-double potential when he gets 20+ minutes of playing time. The rebounds and blocking are his main appeal, but the fact that he's showing any scoring ability is enticing as well. The free throw percentage will never be great (still better than Andre Drummond), but he makes up for it with his field goal percentage and his rejections.
