After Kentucky was eliminated from the NCAA Tournament on Saturday, forward Willie Cauley-Stein suggested he's ready to take the next step in his career, reports the (Louisville) Courier-Journal.
"It's time to take another step," Cauley-Stein said. "I mean, obviously, I'm not 100 percent on it, but I'm pretty sure I know what I want to do. Got to talk to a couple more people, but probably was my last game here."
The 7-foot, 242-pound forward averaged 8.9 points, 6.4 rebounds and 1.7 blocks per game. Cauley-Stein is the sixth ranked player on CBSSports.com's College Basketball Writer Sam Vecenie's top NBA draft prospects for the 2015 draft.
If Saturday was his last game in a Kentucky uniform, Cauley-Stein said he was disappointed in his performance after recording 2 points, 5 rebounds and 2 blocks.
"That's going to probably eat at me for the rest of my life, just knowing I had so much more that I could've given and changed the outcome of the game," he said. "But I just didn't do it. That's really going to kill me on the inside."
