Love him or hate him Doug Gottlieb has high praise for our Willie Cauley-Stein. He goes as far as saying his vote for National Player of the Year would be for Cauley-Stein. Gottlieb is incredibly spot on with his analysis of Cauley-Stein because it’s near impossible for a team to come up with a game plan that benefits them on the offensive side of the ball.
Teams like to run high pick-and-rolls, thanks to the influx of NBA-type play at the collegiate level and that just means WCS will switch on a guard. Name another 7-foot center who a team is comfortable with on that switch? A hint for the correct answer is nobody.
The POY will likely go to Jahlil Okafor or Frank Kaminsky, but Gottlieb brings up an interesting topic when it comes to voting. Both Kaminsky and Okafor aren’t strong defenders, but make up for it on the offensive side of the ball. However, their teams aren’t having historical seasons on that end like Kentucky is defensively. If Cauley-Stein would have played 32 minutes a game or more would he be more in the discussion?

He does have a point as far as number of minutes. Although , if you look, we have several that are up in the 30's in minutes here recently!

It's near the end of the season when every game counts so we will see certain players get more minutes as long as they keep their fouls down. We may see WCS on the court more in the near future.

It didn't help that Towns picked up 2 fouls before the first media break either!

The good thing is Cal has options and back ups for every player and we hardly miss a beat even when any player gets 2 quick fouls.

Dakari Johnson only played for 14 minutes in Saturday's game and never scored a point and had 3 boards.
