Bird believes Stein is "$100M" player

[Pugz]

Willie Cauley-Stein met with Larry Bird of the Indiana Pacers and the Hall of Famer didn't hide how highly he rates him.

Cauley-Stein emerged as one of the best defensive players in college basketball this season.

"'I think youre a $100 million dollar player. I hear that and Im like, Really?!" said Cauley-Stein about comments made to him by Bird.

The Pacers believe Cauley-Stein would work well as a center with Paul George playing as a small-ball four.

"They see me as a player in the five position & put Paul (George) at the four. Now Ill have a mismatch"

I would agree. I'm very high on him as well

 

[Hurricane Season]

The fact that even he is surprised by that isn't a good sign.

Is he really that good? Idk much about him but he seems like a Tyson Chandler type who is limited offensively to only dunks and alley oops.

 

[Giantmetfan07]

He's a beast. He can guard every position on the court.

 

[Mexi]

Only gonna get him via a trade
Hill and their pick? Maybe some team bites. Maybe they add dwest

I think he has a chance to be a starter, but not a feature player.
