    Of all of the things NBA teams wanted to evaluate about Kentucky defensive maven Willie Cauley-Stein, getting a handle on the big man's confidence wasn't one of them.

    "I see myself as the No. 1 player in the draft," Cauley-Stein said. "But it is what it is. If you just take it day by day and put in the work the draft is going to be the outcome of whatever the draft is."

    Thursday has the potential to be a very big day for Cauley-Stein.

    He is arguably the best defensive player in the draft. He is certainly the most versatile defensive player.

    At Kentucky, the 7-foot, 240-pound Cauley-Stein played three years and this past season showed up on pretty much everyone's all-defensive team. He's the first player in Kentucky's tradition-rich history to block 200 or more shots and collect 100 or more steals.
