Willie Cauley-Stein is one of 14 finalists of the Oscar Robertson Trophy and over the weekend, CBS Sports’ Doug Gottlieb said he believes Willie should win it. Not surprisingly, John Calipari agrees.
“He should be right there,” Cal said of Willie when asked where he should rank in the Player of the Year race. “He should be one of those guys. I don’t know if it’s all about numbers. If it’s all about numbers, you should just give it to the leading scorer every year. Or do you have the most outstanding player is a player that’s driving the best team?”
Cal also brought up Bill Walton’s comments in which he said Kentucky should win Player of the Year. No, that is not a typo. “I think what was really funny was what Bill Walton said. The Player of the Year, he says, should be the University of Kentucky because of how they share, how they sacrifice, how they sacrifice numbers for each other, that should be the Player of the Year.”

Walton tells it like it is, he knows the game.

I personally think Willie is the heart and soul of our team. He is one special young man who enjoys college and playing college basketball. He will definitely be missed next season. To have a player with his size and athleticism is almost freaky. He can defend anyone from the point guard to the center and that makes it tough on our opponents. He can be a game MVP with little to no scoring, that is a rarity in today's college game.

Willie is like the energizer bunny and when he is in the game we seem to play a lot harder.
