Watch: Defensive specialist Willie Cauley-Stein's most ferocious blocks
Kentucky's Willie Cauley-Stein is perhaps the best defender in this year's draft class. Watch his best blocks here.
Kentucky's Willie Cauley-Stein is the best defender in this year's draft class. Not only is he a rim protector, but he also has the quickness to guard smaller players on the perimeter.
The 7-footer is an elite shot blocker, swatting away 67 shots in 39 games last season. Together with Karl-Anthony Towns, Cauley-Stein formed the nation's most imposing frontcourt.
His potentially game-saving block on Jerian Grant against Notre Dame in the Elite Eight this year may have been his most memorable, but Cauley-Stein has put together quite the highlight reel. Let's take a look at some of his best rejections from last season.
