Game Thread: San Antonio Spurs vs. Charlotte Hornets @ 7:30 PM CT - Summer League Game #1

[Dejounte]

Yeah, Castle is going to be a star

[Obstructed_View]

Castle kinda reminds me of a taller Steph Curry with elite defense tbh

Gary Payton Curry

[NASpurs]

Castle does remind me of Fathead Celtic though.

[Uriel]

Castle sandbagged his 3PT shot at UCONN just so he could last long enough for the Spurs to take him. CIA Pop

If he had been a decent to good 3-point shooter in college, he might have been the #1 overall pick.

[Mal]

Nr 19 maybe even worse than nr 31, which is big achievement for scouting department

[Degoat]

#19 is literally just out there to burn calories, nothing else

[cd98]

Basketball Gods have mercy on us. Outside of Castle this is horrendous.

[Mugen]

It's early but I'd say Castle reminds me of prime Tracy McGrady tbh

[NASpurs]

Jake Stephens... interesting looking fella.

[cd98]

Charlotte going on a 20 point run now that Castle is out.

Like if you took Magic, deleted the AIDS, and added Dennis Johnson's defense.

I don't think there is any might about it, Castle with a three point shot would have gone #3 in last year's draft much less #1 in this one.

[Raven]

the castle 3s looked ok, but very blockable

[CorrectCrusader]

Castle just knows how to hoop. Good pick

[Obstructed_View]

Nelson comes in, turns the ball over twice.

[NASpurs]

our big dudes are ass (and guards and forwards, ball boy coach, scouting department...)

[CorrectCrusader]

19 is like a much worse brian scalabrine

[manufor3]

Ingram is not at all suited for the unstructured ball of SL. I think he'll do better in actual game action. But maybe I'm just coping.

[baseline bum]

It's impressive that Castle has a positive +/- with how trash the rest of the team is playing.

[objective]

Sidy unfortunately looks like he hasn't improved at all. More evidence for my "Foreign French Fraud" theory, that posits that French players who don't play in the French league get overrated as they stand out undeservedly compared to if they had just played in France. The FFF was bad news and a red flag for Killian Hayes TLC, Ousmane Didn't among others. Doesn't look good for Sarr either.

Meanwhile if a French player is legit they'll stand out in the French league just fine, like Wemby, Risacher, Salaun, De Cool, Mahinmi etc

Hope Cissoko defies my silly pet theory

[Mr. Body]

They picked these players just so Castle can learn what losing is like.

So glad he's out here instead of whoever they could have picked at 8.

Magic's T-Cells in shambles

[NASpurs]

Castle is probably done for the night
