Willie Cauley-Stein (2015-2020)

We expected Willie Cauley-Stein to get a fresh start with the Golden State Warriors. The 26-year-old would prosper even more than the Sacramento Kings playing with Stephen Curry, D’Angelo Russell, and Draymond Green in transition. Unfortunately, for at least one month, an injured left foot will keep Cauley-Stein a spectator. With Kevon Looney also nursing a setback, we’re not sure who will start at center for the Warriors on opening night.

Mitchell Robinson (2018-2020)

The New York Knicks were the worst team in the league in 2018-19, so you’re forgiven if you missed the rookie season of Mitchell Robinson a lot, if not all. The young center of New York earned 19 starts, shot 69.4% from the field (highest among rookies who played in at least 60 games), was sixth among first-year REB players (6.4), and finished second overall in the BLK Association (2.4). On the offensive end of the court, playing with Julius Randle, RJ Barrett, and Marcus Morris should make life easier for him.
