The Castle Doctrine
Jrue/Jimmy comparisons looking better with each passing day.
We might have ourselves the best duo in the league on our hands.
I comparing him with nephew would be unfair, nephew's defense was something we'll never see again if we talk guards/wings, he was that good.
And just as good on offense. I don't think Castle will ever reach top3 player in the league status, but he'll definitely be all-star level.
The Castle Doctrine
Jrue can't really start an offence. Castle's ceiling offensively will be higher. Probably Jimmy Fking Butler or even SGA if we are really really lucky
He's so poised and deliberate. Very mature for a rookie. Can't remember the last rook the Spurs had who was so comfortable with game speed this early.
Wemby was laughing in an interview a few games ago that Steph said that the game had slowed down for him in his 4th pre-season game, and that it took Wemby 50 games or so.
Second behind McCain on updated rookie ladder.
its gonna be hilarious to see spurs fans this year make the same arguments OKC fans did last year
"he's playing a more important role on a better team, he's actually helping a team get wins, not just putting up stats on a bad team because he has a green light"
Esteban Castillo is great tbh
I said about 10 games ago that Castle's 3ball would be the difference between his ceiling being "solid starter" and "all NBA caliber"... pretty damn exciting to see his 3pt shot coming around ahead of schedule. Love this kid.
I don't want to say he's made Devin expendable, but given Devin's lack of ability to stay healthy and a questionable fit with THIS style of Spurs basketball... I wouldn't be opposed to exploring opportunities to move him if the right ones came along (that doesn't mean send him off for Jordan Poole or some bull )... but let's revisit something talked about during the Dame Drama... Vassell out in a package that returns Herro (we'd have to add assets at this point). Yeah, I'm in for that.
Since we talked about those double point guard lineups, I'd wait and see if Fox demands a trade this summer.
Devin and picks would be a fair return. Their 20131 swap back and 2 more picks for an unhappy player on expiring contract seems fair.
Hmmmm... I like Fox a lot, but I'm not sure I love that fit.
In the meantime, I hope Devin just comes back with a vengeance, stays healthy, and we don't have to worry about it.
Aren't you supposed to make a case for your guy? We watched Tim Duncan never win DPOY because of that.its gonna be hilarious to see spurs fans this year make the same arguments OKC fans did last year
"he's playing a more important role on a better team, he's actually helping a team get wins, not just putting up stats on a bad team because he has a green light"
if you want to be a blind homer sure. i can have a preference of my guy winning while acknowledging he doesnt have the best case
The only thing I'm worried about is Devin's healthy.
If he can stay healthy, I've got no doubt he'll be a long-term piece for us.
Even if he doesn't improve, $30M a season for an efficent 20ppg scorer who's not a negative on defense is good value.
I have some fit concerns as well, but I think those will all work themselves out. Definitely health is the biggest concern... Devin is attracted to the injury report like a magnet
Oh, . God forbid someone be a homer for a sportsball team. Such important stuff requires total maturity.
nobody said you cant do it
Castle looks kind of like Alvin Robertson 2.0 to me. Doesn't have the hands Alvin had but the core strength, the bumps, how well he fights over screens, and how strong he is at the basket remind me a lot of Alvin.
aside from the obvious... the jumper, he should work on his layup package. right now he either goes into the chest of the defender, or he does the exaggerated hesitation, both of which are effective, but its all he's got. he's not really an above the rim player at all. he does have some nice dunks but they havent been situations where he dunks over/through somebody, and his burst jumping off one foot isnt really great, and most half court drives are going to demand that he leave off one foot. below the rim craft takes time... TP perfected that over the years, as have Kyrie and Curry
i dont get it. educate a boomerEsteban Castillo is great tbh
Esteban Castillo se las trae.
how is his fit questionable? You'd have to see how a Castle/Vassell back court looks first before making that decision. They complement each other quite well in theory. And Devin been healthy, the coaching staff is just super careful to the point where he is frustrated that they not letting him play.
you're not helping. are we talking about the fat guy that eats chimichangas?
If Stephon was a .
so you're the Spurs Reporter? Funny that all the Spurs beat writers have accounts here
