I’d almost be ok with Risacher getting drafted at 2 or 3 if it means we can lock in Castle at 4. Waiting to draft him at 8 makes me a little nervous

I just want the chess puns with this guy. Especially since he’ll be a rook(ie) next season

From what I read, Castle is similar to DWhite as a player: pg/sg, good defender, good IQ, decent facilitator, can do well whatever you ask him to do on the floor.I’d love that for us.

He’s shooting 27% from three. Who was the last Spurs player to go from shooting that poorly to hitting at least league average of 36%?
Kawhi? That was 13 years ago.

Castle at 4 and Salaun at 8 would be great

Ok, I’m on the Castle train now

Among the 10 plus years that I’ve been really into following the draft, I can’t recall ever seeing a freshman guard, navigate screens on defense, and blow up pick and roll the way he does. He’s transcendent on that end.
What a wonderful article. And it was nice to see a lot of examples And break down on something I’ve been saying and feeling for a while with Castle. That UConn did hold him back a little bit as a playmaker. It feels like there’s a lot of intelligence, willingness, and ability in there there as a distributor, he may not have incredible high-level vision, and is probably not going to be someone that throws really flashy passes, But I think he’s someone that’s really going to surprise people where he ends up topping out at as an assist man if given the opportunity.
I’ve been ride or die with topics for a while. But Castle has moved all the way up to number two on my, Spurs wish list based, big board and I can’t see any reason why he wouldn’t still be there on draft night.
He fits a need, he has an encouraging combination of things. Things we know he does do well, and reasons to believe there are other parts of his game that could be better than we think on first blush.
And then you factor in how malleable, and unselfish, he’s been the last few years, radically changing his role from situation to situation, working on his weaknesses, and doing what he needs to do to win.
I’d be super shocked if the Spurs didn’t genuinely have him in their top two or three on their draft board. He really feels like a spur, And he also really feels like a guy that people are going to kick themselves on in 5 years for overthinking his mediocre counting stats.

Shooting mechanics is fairly decent, he should be able to improve on that.

I’ve been staning Castle for a while now. I’m praying he makes it to 4 with all the hype he is getting now.
