The Villanova Knicks have sold me on guys who make winning plays and are big contributors in college even if their tangible skills aren’t all there yet. I’d welcome him at 4 (though frankly I’d welcome like five different players at 4 so not *that* remarkable)

Good, me too.
I think he would be a good piece with some multi-dimensional versatility.

Imagine finally getting past Sochan and Castle just for Wemby to snatch the ball out of the air, and then laugh at you.

Yeah I would love to the spurs to draft him yeah his shooting form is questionable but he is 19 and has a lot of time to improve his jumpshot. His defense is incredible.

Would be pretty happy if we take him at 4, and then Knecht at 8 to address the lack of shooting

I seriously have no idea how this draft is going to play out. What a roller coaster with 2 picks. Thought we should skip on PGs for the 4th but I don’t know anymore. Castles D is hard to pass on
VeniceRapture
Yeah I mean he can come off the bench or take Julian’s spot at SF. Either option works

I don’t watch a lot of college but I’ve been looking into this class a lot and yeah Castle seems like a great pickup. Large guard who plays great defense and has plenty of time to improve his shot.

the pre-draft subterfuge, I believe none of it. I like Castle, maybe the Spurs do, or maybe the Spurs want you to think they do.. or maybe the Spurs want you to believe it’s them tricking you…

Risacher at 4 and Castle at 8
Spiritual_Echo_1000
If he can develop into a proper point guard with a shot, I think taking him at 8 and Risacher at 4. if still prefer topic

Im really down for castle at 4 and bpa at 8
Aggressive_Yam1044
I’m really warming up to Castle and Salaun at 4 and 8.

Makes sense considering our 3 last lottery picks pre-Wemby, right? Vassell, Primo, Sohan. Positional size, versatility, theoretical upside on offense.
I hope at least one of our picks hit.

I like that pick Dude plays like a Spur

I’m typically skeptical of pre-draft reports on how the spurs feel about prospects, since the spurs are typically lowkey. However I don’t have a hard time believing this at all because he seems exactly like the type of prospect the spurs would love. I wonder if the spurs would have him run point or be out on the wing

All they need now is to trade Devin and Keldon for a prime Josh Smith and the Spurs could assemble the worst shooting team in league history

Bigger version of Marcus Smart if he never develops a consistent shot.
Bigger version of Jrue Holiday if he does develop a shot.
Jrue shot 45/30/73 for 8.5/3.8/3.7 and 2.1 turnovers in 27mpg in his one season at UCLA.
Castle shot 47/27/76 for 11/4.7/2.9 and 1.5 turnovers in 27mpg in his one season at National Champion UCONN.
Jrue was 6’3 barefoot at 199lbs with 6’7 wingspan. 34″ Vertical.
Castle was 6’5.5 barefoot at 210lbs with 6’9 wingspan. 37″ Vertical.

breaking news: Spurs “big fans” of “players with skill”
Give me Castle at 4 then whomever falls at 8. I’d want that sure thing in the bag, and not take the risk that someone snatches him up, or someone trades up to grab him.

I love Castle and I think the Spurs probably have him really high on their board.
This honestly feels like something coming out of his camp though. Particularly on the heels of his report that he only wants to work out for teams without a point guard. It sounds like his camp is trying to secure a promise from a team, like San Antonio, That suit his preference roster construction wise and if not, put pressure on teams lower in the lottery( Who he would like to play for )to try to trade up by making it seem like he’s not going to be around long.

I’d be down with that. Castle would fit in like a glove.

TBH, if the Spurs take Castle at four, I see them swinging high on Salaun at 8.
