hes 19, he could shoot before, he'll be able to shoot again.
take the good player and not the white boy who's gonna get picked on like hes at an all minority school.
Clingan is for the non-Wemby minutes defense. That’s a serious issue and it is easier to fix it with a big man who can defend rather than a PG. I didn’t go into much detail about that but in his thread I did mention it.
Reed is my shooter as far as starters go. Reed, Vassell, Monk, Sochan and Wemby to start

I’d rather get a big man defender in the draft and get the white boy who can shoot. Surround Wemby with shooters. It isn’t rocket science. Ideally we could sign Klay but idk if we have the cap space for him or how much he will cost. But he wants money and playing time and we can offer him both. Realistically I think we could sign Monk to a contract. Heck I’d be more than fine with Derick White as well. We don’t need a guard who can’t shoot though. He has no place on the team
Id rather have Derrick White!
You aren't getting White.
Boston is winning the le and they like him and he likes Boston. They traded Smart to open a starting spot for him.
No, Spurs still need a perimeter defender and Castle is perfect to fill that need and his offense will be fine. I've seen clips of his shot looking good and he's strong going to the basket. Has that fire and hard work ethic and dog in him. Sheppard doesn't have it.
Improve the defense in this draft and get a couple of high potential dynamic offensive players in the deeper 25 draft, it's better for overall team construction.
Sochan C&S 3 34%
Black C&S 3 32%
Castle C&S 3 26%
Did not know it was this bad.
Someonee pointed out that if he made three more threes he'd be shooting 30.7. He's not a great shooter but it's also low volume.
His shot looks better than Black or Sochan. Less hitch, faster and more fluid.
You've got to look at who is available who can shoot and accept deficiencies everywhere.
If you draft Castle it's for the best perimeter defender in the draft, who can handle the ball and make superior decisions on the court. You then work on the shot.
That's it.
What is wrong with Castle shot.
I'm wondering the same tbh. The visual is far from ugly
It could just be bc of a too small sample of games in college and the fact that his role was complex and not reduced to his shooting.
There are so many instances of way worse shots that were fixed. Jrue Holiday has become an elite 3pts shooter for ex
Work ethic pays
He shot below 30% from 3 in HS and 7% in u18. Something must be wrong.
Hes not confident in his shot.He will be left wide open to shoot,But rather try to take it to rim
or pass it to someone else.This is why i think i rather have carter.Guy is not afraid to take big
shots and wants to punish teams for leaving him openJust a mental thing.
Is this the next Fultz 2.0?
could be
Correlations and causations...
It could be talent, mechanics, shots selections, systems, coachings...
There are so many instances of low % in highschool and college that drastically improved at the NBA level with elite coaches and a proper developping environment.
Look at nephew, he averaged (slightly) more 3s than Castle in college for ex. Jrue Holiday was also shooting 30% with more attempts.
The low amount of 3s taken pobably had an impact. It doesn't help you build confidence
He can't be, because the issue isn't his shot mechanics as it was for Fultz.
Imo THAT that might be the most challenging area to fix in a player, if not almost impossible.
I think Castle simply has a confidence issue. I don't see why it couldn't be fixed, especially in a team that relies on a system.
And when the Spurs get shooters the fan base gets full on mad.
I do have to admit this has merit, though. Mental blockage can be harder than overcome than anything else, and his reluctance to shoot early on is what drove me away from him. I eventually embraced the idea of taking him due to his performances and especially his measures (dude is almost the same size as Jaime Jaquez and Jimmy Butler) which widens his path to success, but it's definitely a concern on the back of my mind, one that I don't have with Carter, who looks fearless.
The comp to Dejounte is interesting, defensively, operating in mid-range, doing multiple things, two-way player. But again I almost gave up on Dejounte always getting stripped in traffic, which is unlikely happening with Castle’s better finishing in traffic. Murray avoids contact, while Castle bullies and punishes smaller defenders and finishes in the rim with contact, Murray acrobatically reverse, etc (sometimes missing) to avoid contact in the rim. Defensively, I think Castle has higher ceiling specially with his massive physicality, Murray I thought gambles for steals (stat padding).
Of course Dejounte was 29th pick vs 4th or 8th pick. But if the comp is DJ, then there you go. I honestly think Castle will be much better though.
Castle very clearly has a mechanics issue with his shot. He shoots it from above his head, instead of shooting from his eyes.
That's good, though. It is the same mechanichs fix that Kawhi needed, hopefully the Spurs can work their magic again. Fixing a mechanichs problem is easier than fixing a mental block, tbh.
To a certain degree. Fultz or even Halliburton seem impossible to fix
Then you have Shawn Marion who made a living of an absurd mechanic
Haliburton didn't need any fixing, he's a great shooter, and Fultz definitely had/has a mental block.To a certain degree. Fultz or even Halliburton seem impossible to fix

He shot low volume at UCONN. He played within the team concept at UCONN and sacrificed stats to buy into a winning program.
He wasn't given a green light to just gun away like those kentucky guards.
Spurs probably should avoid players with broken shots - chip is gone.
They got enough players on this roster with broken shots whose shots are still broken.
