I wasn’t able to catch the game. What’s the injury.
How did castle look? I saw the stat line, but just in general how did he look?
I can’t wait for the inverted pick and rolls. Last year, it was 6’2” Tre jones setting the screen and cutting to receive the over the top pass. Now picture 6’6” 210 Castle setting a bone jarring pick, and moving into the lane with essentially a 4 on 3 because of the inevitable double on Wemby. Good things will happen from that set.

He's like Russell Westbrook with actual skills.
Whenever they cut to the sideline to Paul he was watching the game so intensely. A year of Castle tutored by Paul is going to be awesome.
That POR team was pretty freaking bad but I liked how Bouyea and Mensah played. Also it’s pretty damn impressive that Castle is leading our summer league as a 19 year old.
ATL, WAS, and HOU have guys that their rooks can rely on.
At this hot take, turning every little thing into a referendum, culture. Every shot Castle makes isn't time to celebrate and proclaim "I told you so, he's going to be a star!", especially when he's predictably been highly inefficient so far.
This is a fanbase that has been subjected to Anderson, Murray, Samanic, Jones, Sochan, Wesley and Cissoko in the past decade, so to some anything vaguely resembling a competent looking stroke means they're practically a "laser".Guess you’re a glass half full guy…I watched that half and just felt like Castle’s jumper needs so much workPretty much airballed a wide open mid-range jumper from the FT line, and then had some total bricks from 3. I know he made two but some of those misses were just ugly.
Let go tbh!
Yup. I’ll admit that. But Castle’s floor is high even without becoming a ‘laser’.

hopefully castle good for tommrow.See him or ingram most likely guarding rishacher
They might sit him tomorrow regardless of any injury concerns. Just the Summer League protocol.
I have a feeling Castle rests tomorrow just on Par for how the spurs operate especially since he got banged up.
Have players been overhyped before and amounted to nothing? Yes.

On the flip side, there are players sometimes people can spot a mile away and predict they become a star. You insist so much that since you read a few scouting reports that said he didn’t have a ceiling as a star that it must be unlikely for it to actually happen. There were several scouting reports out there that you ignored that did say he would become one, so why must it be that the few you read be the accurate ones?
Not every prospect ever has to have a label on them “THIS PLAYER WILL LIKELY BE A STAR” for people to comment on them the way they are doing with Castle. Sometimes you can see it in the way they move on the court. You separate out the fandom in watching a guy play and one with a good eye can spot the talent there. It’s not all about numbers, no wing or guard will ever become as efficient as Kawhi was.
Hypothetically if Castle was trending to become a true star in these coming years, I already know it will take you until the very last year, month, week, or day before he’s officially announced as a star by mainstream media to acknowledge that he is one. That’s what happened with Murray at least— a player who, while not really a true star in this league, reached a ceiling you never thought would happen as evidence by your numerous posts that said he didn’t have the adequate tools and there was nothing in scouting reports that indicated he would be anything close to what he eventually became. Sound familiar?
I wish my dude had another celebration in the celebration package besides that chest flex.
sounds like a tournover tbh
The overraction is always expected and cute, like parents raving at every little step or babbling their new born makes, but Castle shot 8/21. If he can't shoot, he'll never be anything else than a role player.

It was THE one red flag with him and summer league so far did nothing to attenuate that big worry. You can't be Wemby's co-star, and a star in this league, if you're not a good/great shooter. All the cuts and stuff (the base in the NBA) he can make won't change anything to that.

Castle really needs to work on that freethrow line midrange jumper. He gets there so easily out of the pick and roll, just keeping his defender on his hip. If he can knock that down consistently, it will help his game a lot.
Hear, hear!
A lot of pundits and analysts got fooled by the fact that the #9 HS prospect went to UConn and was willing to play a role, and thought that’s all he could do. Thank God, or he never would have dropped to #4.
Considering that's CP3's bread and butter, have to imagine he will be coaching him on that
Nor should every miss be followed by a proclamation of mediocrity or doom.

Same. I’ve been a fan. The guy has an innate feel for the game.I am unabashedly high on Cissoko and I am ready to let my Sidy flag fly.
