I don't think he's returning, but if he does, Castle is going to the bench or G league.
I saw McCain play in person when he was in college and I like him a lot. He’s a microwave scorer that can put a lot of points on the board in a hurry. That said, I definitely don’t think he’s an overall better player than Castle. He can be a better pure scorer when he gets hot, but Castle plays on both ends, and has so many intangibles to his game that are just hard to ignore.

ROTY only sometimes winds up being the best player in the class. I mean, Michael Carter-Williams won for one of the Process Sixers teams, and they traded him in the middle of his second season. It’s not an award I place a lot of weight on.
I highly doubt Castle is ever going to the G-League. When Vassell gets the start back, I suspect Champ goes to the bench, and when Sochan gets back, as long as Castle continues the way he’s playing, I think Barnes will and wouldn’t mind going to the bench. He’s a pro. Bottom line, Castle is a big part of the future and his development is 2nd priority only next to Wemby. The kid will be the 2nd All-Star.
Why would he get sent to the G-League? That's crazy! He's one of the best players on the team. That doesn't make sense if they were to do that. Are you just speculating, or do you think they actually would do it?
Point of attack defenders are invaluable in today's league.
Unless a negative defense guard is a legit 25ppg scorer on good efficency, POA defenders with solid offense are way more valuable for contending teams.
Castle is projected to be one of the best perimeter defenders in the league and his offense is way ahead of the expectations.
We got another piece of the long-term puzzle, tbh.
He’s trolling about Pop. Bless Pop but I doubt he will try to come back. I doubt his kids would let him. Anyways, I think Mitch and the rest are liking what Castle is doing out there. After that ally-op to Wemby and the camera pointed on the coaches, they were consorting and nodding in agreement I would think on Castle. They will want to continue that Castle/Wemby chemistry.
I'm just speculating how bad of a coach Popovich has become. He doesn't like playing young players. Had popovich been coaching, Castle wouldn't even be playing this much.
Just keep castle playing with cp3
McCain already seems to be elite with taking it to the rim, creating space for a in the paint pull up, floater, quick shifty fakes to throw off defenders. Not a lot of games but he looks like Roy just from the eye test
His BBIQ seems off the chart already
I thought Castle gonna start next year as a PG but if he continues to play like that IMO CP should come out of the bench this season.
castle
vassell
champagne
sochan
wemby
Do you guys still want Sheppard over Castle like many would have done if you were the one making the drafting decision for the Spurs.
Lol, I still like the Sheppard pick for Houston, and it’s still crazy early but it is kinda funny Sheppard and Castle are shooting the same % from 3 right now. McCain is running away with RotY as of right now, though. He has the counting stats and efficiency going nicely. Curious to see what his minutes/usage look like when Maxey returns and Embiid rounds into shape.
McCain is what Sheppard and Dillingham were supposed to be, put together.
whats wrong with cp3 starting?....Seems to be working well for wemby and castle.Why fuk that up?
Surely we would trade CP3 rather than move him to the bench.
How would you guys rank the following players in terms of projected future performance (excluding contracts)?
Stephon Castle
Amen Thompson
Dyson Daniels
Jalen Suggs
You absorb as much from the point-god as you can if you have him. It will be silly to move him to the bench, and I doubt that happens without him wanting out.
Is it really working? CP of the bench still plays with Wemby.
I'd rather see Castle more of a playmaker not having CP around.
it is crazy how much better this lineup is tbh.. and yet, i am ok with starting cp3
well our D is good but not good enough and fast guards end up having season highs.
Man I really hope we can find another Diamond for the SF position in next draft as we really need that if we want to really compete for a Championship
I am starting to believe Castle / Vassel / Sochan / Wemby are the core four and it’s just a matter of adding experience and a superstar SF with the game of a 6’9” Anthony Edwards and we should be in. That is pretty amazing considering how early it is.

Inside presents what we need. If that SF can fill that role that would be fine.
