SCOUTING REPORT
Strengths: Cauley-Stein is much like Okafor in terms of dimensions, but Cauley-Stein is more nimble and has far better athleticism. He has an explosion about him on both offense and defense. His athleticism makes him a great pick-and-roll defender, because he can defend big forwards and centers as well as guards. Cauley-Stein is a great finisher at the rim, and he has a surprising array of post moves that could be perfected over time.

Weaknesses: Cauley-Stein is a beast when it comes to rebounding and defense, but his offensive game could use work. The many holes in his game will need improvement once he is drafted, but his insane athleticism and forcefulness around the rim will be a gift for any NBA organization.
