He actually played a lot as the point of attack/PG, but his assist total was lower than it should have been because of a certain 2022 draft pick being unable to hit water if he fell out of a boat.Funny but it looked like Castle was playing 3 tonight, scoring 17 and dishing 4 assists. But I think he stops playing SF since you said “Castle will barely play the 3.”
He showed he could play on a 3 guard offense, which Pop has always loved the idea. And based on Castle’s defense, I think it’s not going to take awhile before Pop insert him in the starting lineup. I just want Castle to have a shot a ROTY. Vegas has Sheppard as the likely winner, but our boy can make a run for it if his play last night was any indication
Dude, Wemby had to crush it for the last four months just to overcome the anti-Spurs bias. They wanted SO BADLY to give it to Chet.
Castle ain’t winning ROY.
Don’t worry. If the shooting is real, he’ll be a fixture on All D and make a few ASG appearances. Think of a 6’6” Jrue Holiday. You won’t even remember who won ROY this year.
Them just handing it over without a challenge would not have been good for him.
On that note, I love that that reporter reminded him about playing closer to the basket during postgame last night.
And All Defensive team hopefully.
That’s what All D means.
Minix has to be the clubhouse leader for the two-way spot. Will be kind of wild if all these vets end up playing for the Toros.
So apparently Ryan Dunn is a sharpshooter
Same period last season, Jordan Poole was supposed to take over the league
Ryan Dunn?
A transformative defensive wing drafted from UVa who couldn’t hit water if he fell out of a boat, but apparently is a sniper now for the Suns. Last year at UVa: 7-35 from 3, 20%. Preseason for the Suns: 12-27, 44%. Honestly, if people thought he would develop a shot this quickly, he probably would have gone top 10, not 28th.
Not only that, he was barely over 50% from FT in college.
Everyone thought he'd be the next Andre Roberson, but if he can actually shoot...Suns might've finally got themselves a W.
I was really really high on Dunn. If this continues, man -- the Suns could end up w/ best player in this draft.
My biased opinion is that we did, but they may have drafted a top 5 pick at #28.
Damn Dunn's big glaring weakness was shooting and if that has come together and can be consistent with his staunch defense and physical attributes he will be dangerous
How did this get past so many scouts lol
Well, we’ll see if it holds up, but there was zero shooting signal. Sometimes if they shoot 75-80% from the line, you can count on some improvement. He shot 53%. Weird things just happen, sometimes.
Darn, I'll have to take a look at him, but sounds like Suns got a steal if his shooting improvement is real.
he didnt have anything resembling a jumper at UVA and even in the combine drills he showed very poorly.
honestly its pretty inexpicable. it would be like shaq becoming an 80% free throw shooter overnight after the Suns traded for him. if it holds, of course
Dunn's defense is so fun to watch, he's the best man to man defending prospect that i can remember off the top of my head. its just that given his complete lack of offensive game other than being a good athlete, he was doomed to just being a small ball 5 as so much of his limited offensive production at UVA just came as a pick and roll finisher. but if he can actually hang as a perimeter player who can even survive with a 35% ish 3 point shot, the Suns definitely got a steal. if he's going to shoot a better percentage than that and with the volume he's been showing in preseason... thats not ok
Has anyone heard of Isaiah Miller
no but im expecting you'll make about 10 consecutive posts consisting of 10 separate youtubes about him soon
