Not at 4, Phil.
That whole article is pretty interesting, particularly about Stein:
Calipari has heard the rumblings about Cauley-Stein not being “a gym rat’’ who doesn’t love the game because of outside interests. Calipari has spoken to Knicks personnel director Mark Warkentien extensively about Cauley-Stein. Warkentien is close to the Kentucky program because he’s represented by the same agency that reps Calipari – CAA.“I remember I had three gym rats: Derrick Rose – you couldn’t drag him out of the gym – Brandon Knight and Michael Kidd,’’ Calipari said. “Those guys were in the gym too much. [Willie] loves to play and is coming into his own. Anthony Davis wasn’t a gym rat and he’s OK. He’s well-spoken and fans are going to love him.’’

I wonder how Mario Hezonja's contract status will impact where he'll be selected in the draft. If he drops because of it, as have other Europeans in similar situations, I'd do this deal. I'm not a fan of Eric Bledsoe, the quasi-max/half-the-season injured version but would definitely do the deal if Jose was included AND Hezonja was there at 13.
