The Irregular Trebuchet of Stephon Castle

Via Shams

I like Clingan at those odds.

Edey has gotten expensive. Vegas reading ST.com tbh

Antonio Daniels was just that bad at point

Yeah he was. I loved AD but he was an undersized 2.

[TD 21]

You're just speculating

No one can predict what type of player he'll become but there are plenty of arguments that he could very well reach SGA's level and more.

For all the I/we give PATFO, they're the best in the business at developping players. Better than Okc imo

So are you.

Of course it's not impossible, but there's no credible argument for thinking there's a decent or better chance currently. A portion of this fan base is just delusional and thinks virtually every 1st round pick is destined for s om mostly due to three players drafted 13-25 years ago.

The luxury they have is job security, so they can afford to select projects and be patient.

I'm saying anything is possible, you're saying one option is impossible...

Anyway he's not starting as PG position, interesting...

I know and I'm saying that could be applied to anything, but that's not the same as saying there's good reason to think and I clearly didn't say impossible.

Look I'm not trying to have the last word, we can agree to disagree but there is a rational and good reason to think he could end up as good o better than SGA when comparing both players at the same stage/age.

We'll see

You guys are talking past each other. Yes, he could be that good, but without a time machine you don't know. All things are true.

[scott]

Castle could become as good as SGA.

Risacher could become as good as Lauri Markkanen.

Dillingham could become as good as Trae Young.

Sheppard could become as good as Steph Curry.

Salaun could become as good as Giannis.

Any of these things could happen. But they probably won’t, and I’m not holding my breath on any of those possibilities. These are the 99th percentile outcomes of these players… I mean, c’mon.

The disrespect already for Castle?

I LOVE IT

Wow, Matas Buzelis, the same odds as Castle. The same guy that said Castle might be the best player of this draft class.

the odds are actually quite unrealistically high..

Anything that could give Stephon an edge, I'm taking it.

ROY this year will come down to numbers. If someone scores 15ppg or so they'll be on track. Brogdan won with pretty low average as a rookie.

Antonio Daniels was just that bad at point

Yeah, and even so, it took 5-6 games for Parker to dislodge him. CP3 will not be terrible.

[BatManu20]

Not sure if posted already but pretty wild tbh.

Posted several times over the last week.

I had no idea the actor Marc Blucas played college basketball, much less with Duncan. He was in Buffy the Vampire Slayer.

Holy you're right. Didn't even recognize him tbh. That's crazy

I didn't recognize him either when seeing this photo the past week until you pointed it out . I did know he was friends with TD. I can't quite remember if they were also roommates. I also read and saw photos with TD going to some of his movie premieres when Tim was still playing for the Spurs.

[ace3g]

Blucas even mentions Duncan in one of his movies.

"Unless they figure out how to play the guy. He's 7 foot and the guy wants to play like a guard".

That sounds oddly relevant nowadays for some reason

Castle won't win ROY as a bench player, which is what folks seem to expect. Some lesser player with a bigger role will win it.

Yeah, you're probably right. I guess I don't really care as long as Castle keeps developing and becomes the player he can be potentially, that'd be even better.
