Willie Cauley-Stein

Big man Willie Cauley-Stein has signed a 10-day contract with the Houston Rockets. He's spent this season with the Rio Grande Valley Vipers, Houston's G League affiliate.

Fantasy Impact

The 6th pick in the 2015 NBA Draft, Cauley-Stein has been known as a vertical threat during his seven-year career. He'll compete with Frank Kaminsky, Usman Garuba, and Boban Marjanovic for backup big minutes. Cauley-Stein averaged 7.3 points, 6.3 boards, 2.5 assists, and 1.3 blocks for the Vipers this season.

With the expected signing of DeAndre Jordan, Adrian Wojnarowski reports that the Philadelphia 76ers will be releasing Willie Cauley-Stein

Fantasy Impact

The 7 year vet hadn’t made much of an impact in his short time in Philadelphia, averaging 1 rebound and 3 minutes in 2 games while failing to score. He likely won’t be a very valuable fantasy asset moving forward, but his landing spot could be worth monitoring.

Willie Cauley-Stein has signed a 10-day contract with the Philadelphia 76ers.

Fantasy Impact

With Andre Drummond being shipped out to the Nets in the recent blockbuster deal, Cauley-Stein will compete for backup center minutes with Paul Millsap and Paul Reed. The 28-year old journeyman averaged 1.9 points and 2.1 rebounds with the Mavericks over 9.9 minutes per game. At best, he may be a streaming option if Joel Embiid ever misses a game.

Fantasy Impact

Cauley-Stein played a small role in the Mavericks’ backcourt rotation and does not bring enough value to be considered for fantasy contests.

Mavericks center Willie Cauley-Stein (personal reasons) is out Wednesday night when Dallas plays the Sacramento Kings.

Fantasy Impact

Cauley-Stein has made very minimal impact when on the floor for the Mavericks this season and should not be anywhere near your fantasy roster at this time.
