Will Sacramento Kings big Willie Cauley-Stein be the next NBA player to open his own sneaker store? In a new interview with Complex, the Kentucky alum revealed his aspirations to open a boutique in Sacramento.

"Since I got to college. I wanted my own shoe and clothing spot. It’s called ‘Catalyst.’ That’s the ultimate goal," he says in the interview. "I wanna put it downtown Sacramento. It’s poppin' down there, they don’t have anything like that. Honestly, my whole plan was to get it going now. I wanted it done by like June."

We're halfway through June and there's not much evidence of the store opening any time soon, but that's not to say Cauley-Stein has given up on the plan.
