Last week, Chad Ford said he’s hearing Willie Cauley-Stein’s stock is slipping leading up to Thursday’s draft and we were all like “SHUT UP CHAD FORD, YOU THOUGHT JAMES YOUNG WAS A GREAT PASSER.” Well, this morning, Draft Express’ Jonathan Givony posted his latest mock draft, and in it, he says the same thing. Givony predicts Willie will go 11th to the Pacers, which is also where Ford has him going:
11. Willie Cauley-Stein, Indiana Pacers
Concerns around Cauley-Stein’s background and medical history could cause him to fall out of the Top-10 according to recent reports we’ve received, which would be a huge boon for Indiana, who are currently in the market for a starting center.
