Willie Cauley-Stein has always done things his own way, so it's no surprise he handled talk of his future on his own terms Saturday night.
Bypassing the usual “I'm not thinking about that yet” response to inevitable questions about his upcoming stay-or-go decision, Cauley-Stein revealed his decision is already close to made.
Asked whether the junior had just played his final game in a Kentucky uniform in the Wildcats' Final Four loss to Wisconsin, he answered “probably.”
“It's time to take another step,” Cauley-Stein said. “I mean, obviously I'm not a hundred percent on it, but I'm pretty sure I know what I want to do. I have to talk to a couple more people, but that probably was my last game here.”
Cauley-Stein is projected as a top-10 pick by both ESPN and Draft Express, a designation he shares with potential top overall choice Karl-Anthony Towns.
