Generally, for the player's sake, teams don't like to jerk them around like this. If they're getting traded, it usually happens right away.I'll preface this with I'm not sure how trades work across this double night of drafting.
However, it would be hilarious if we think we've hit on a player the majority of the fanbase seems to like ie. Castle,
only to trade him the very next night...
I really like Castle and hope they take him at 4 if they can't get Sarr.
But I was watching him interviewed on an NBATV show called "Get To Know."
Castle is noticeably not very bright. Not a big concern, maybe not even relevant, but boy did it come across pretty boldly.
I don't agree with this read, and regret this is how people interpret people who don't like to talk. He's not the most personable guy. Not Kawhi level, but he's not affable and talkative.
You're right -- let's face it, there's no difference between shy and dumb.
He seems fine. Not a fun personality but he's okay.
The other one I just heard via Yahoo is CHA trying to move up to 3 to select Castle ahead of the Spurs at 4.
I probably just caught him in a bad moment.
Seems kind of like Vassell tbh, doesn't come across as very personable in interviews but I bet (like Vassell) he is well liked by his teammates.
Obviously, I'm down with the trade part of that...might draft different though..
Hit me with your wisdom, mo!
that would be pretty great tbh. means in all likelihood that sheppard falls to 4 and the spurs cant it up by taking castle instead
Gentlemen, is there a free live stream pls?
With Risacher at Atlanta, if someone springs to Houston to get Castle, then trading down with Clingan may be the best option or at least considered.
I’d be sad if someone snakes Castle at 3, but taking Reed at 4 isn’t a bad outcome.
yeah... fully expect the hawks to take risacher, or they'll work out a deal w/ the wizards where the hawks take sarr and they swap
still dno whats going to happen to resolve the Young/Murray backcourt... but Risacher/Johnson at the forward spots is a really nice combo on paper.
my guess is they end up moving murray, and bufkin becomes the combo guard off the bench for them. he had a solid year in gleague last year, and we all liked him quite a bit leading up to that draft. i think a murray/bufkin backcourt would actually be pretty cool, with either being able to play point alongside bogdonavich off the bench, but i think for PR reasons they will elect to move murray instead of young
No it's not, but I'm not totally enamored with him. I'm prepared to be wrong. I'd at least think about moving down.
The thing I’m worried about now though is that even if teams want to trade up for Clingan, they might be able to do that by jumping to 5 or 6. If people aren’t buying the Rockets’ or Spurs’ interest, then no need to trade up to 3 to try and get Clingan.
Could be a blessing in disguise. I don’t see Castle as a project but it’ll be a work in progress. Reed would be a quicker fit and probably a faster path in development.
Believe me, everyone here is more than happy that you aren't making the decisions.
I think Sheppard hits a ceiling at a certain point where Castle's best outcomes are above his. Sheppard probably has a higher floor and this may be a high floor draft.
even if the rockets themselves arent interested in clingan, they do appear to be the team most willing to move down. sure, a team might want to move up to 5 or 6 instead, but are the pistons/hornets really aching to move down? it might see seen that 3 is the last opportunity to trade up until 8 or something (if its true the spurs have gauged the market for that pick)
If the Rockets stay at 3, and don’t trade the pick they are taking Reed. No one else makes sense currently.
