Draft Express president Jonathan Givony cited the reasons for the slide as “concerns around Cauley-Stein’s background and medical history,” which led to a little bit of an uproar from the Big Blue Nation because we love Willie.
Givony just released an update to further explain those concerns, which he says are centered around Willie’s ankle/foot, which was injured during the 2014 NCAA Tournament:
Five separate NBA teams we spoke with all indicated varying degrees of concern after consulting with their team doctors this week, with some saying it may cost the Kentucky big man a few spots on draft night.
