Kentucky’s Willie Cauley-Stein sure helped his draft stock on Friday.

The 7-foot junior went for 21 points, 12 rebounds, 5 steals and 3 blocks and made several key defensive plays in No. 1 Kentucky’s 63-51 victory over No. 6 Texas at Rupp Arena.

“Made himself some money tonight,” one veteran NBA scout told SNY.tv. “Best player on the floor.”

Cauley-Stein is projected as the No. 9 pick in the 2015 NBA Draft by DraftExpress.com. He said he returned to campus for his junior year to improve his draft stock.
