    The line up of the future is likely Steph, Dev, Champ, Sochan, and Wembs. It’s just a matter of time— as soon as the inevitable annual CP3 injury tbh.
    the world with that lineup when champagnie becomes a 40% 3 point shooter

    Champ 40% 3pt shooter, Vassell 40% 3pt shooter, Wemby 37% shooter on 10 3's per game.

    Wemby, Sochan and Castillo all-defensive teamers. Israel and Palestine become BFFs.

    Vassell was suppossed to be this elite defensive prospect, whatever happened to that.
    If Vassell is watching what’s happening with the Spurs this season maybe he’ll decide that he needs to play defense if he wants some PT.

    That’s one way to address the spacing issues with Castillo and Sochan playing together…

    There’s an overemphasis on hitting the 40% mark as a 3 pt shooter smh

    in this day and age being a threat from deep is enough

    if you look at the players with >40% shooting, barely any of them are 3 and d type and have as many attempts as champagnie

    If a Wemby, Sochan, Castle, Champagnie, Vassell lineup works offensively, that could be a great defensive lineup, might even get to a top defensive rtg

    right now league average is 35.8%. champagnie is shooting 35% on the season

    if you're going to be a "specialist" or someone who's main job is to space the floor... you gotta be a lot better than average

    again, take a look at the specialists in the league. There are very few that meet this dream criteria you’re describing, and even fewer who get paid as little as him. I think you’re lagging behind on what’s acceptable for specialists in the modern age.

    i mean hitting exactly 40 isnt a make it or break it figure. but he ought to be closer to 40 than 35, thats for sure

    but there are currently 60 players making 40+ percent of their threes (on a qualifying number of attempts). and yes, that includes specialists and 3&D types... like MPJ, Naz Reid, Ben Sheppard, Dillon Brooks, Lu Dort, Royce O'neal, Finney-Smith, Pritchard, Anunoby, Coffey, Heild, Cam Johnson, Barnes, NAW, Knecht, Kennard, Braun, Garrison Matthews, Josh Green, Taurean Prince

    its not some mythical unachievable figure reserved only for the legendarily elite

    champagnie is 43rd in attempts per game but his % is below league average. so no, its not a good enough figure for a specialist no matter how low you think the standards should be... within reason

    im well aware julian is outplaying his contract regardless. he's one of the best contracts on the team right now. but thats just changing the topic

    Id happily take 3 of the starting five in the 37% range. Allows them to keep Castillo and Sochan in, who had been a force in the interior before the injury.

    This Lakers loss tonight reinforces my belief that Castle needs a true lead guard alongside him that has some burst.

    Steph is more later career Manu with the herky jerky, hesi game. Nice change of pace but we need that zip that Porky provided to really unlock the offense IMO.

    waiting for this as soon as Sochan heals. We gotta limit CP3 Keldon, Collins and Tre minutes if we want to win.

    Nope! He just needs the reps to grow into the position ( hardest one to grow into btw ) at the nba level! It’s been less than 20 games lol Steph is way ahead of schedule….

    Not in terms of game, but in terms of role, Castle could be like Suggs, solid defender, good initiator on offence. I think Castle has a higher ceiling but then I am a Spurs fan, but if Castle can be like Suggs is now later in the year, or mid next year, I would be very happy.

    Nephew was already at a different level defensively when he was in his rookie and sop re year. He was able to give peak Lebron trouble at that time already.

    Castle can guard Curry but against a much bigger 40 years old Lebron, Castle is still too light and small to defend Lebron well

    Castle is a guard
    Kawhi is a forward
    They have some similarities but they are actually completely different players.
    The only reason we compare them is because we are Spurs fans.

    Castle seems on a different level offensively to rookie Kawhi.
