he gained weight?
Sorry but, is it really in the spurs interest for castle to win Roy? Wouldn't that just complicate ego/contract stuff down the line? I guess it kind of forces the coaching staff to play him more but, beyond fans/castles pride i don't see what the benefit is, seems if anything it's better to put a chip on his shoulder and have less media/league attention/offers..
I don't see it as a negative, if he starts off with something to show for...giving him the idea that the team is fitting for him (not that thats not obvious). If a ROY award messes him up, he is spoiled anyway. But I don't get the feeling, he is like that.
I'd be happy for him to earn it...but it also feels weird, if someone else beyond our three #1 gets one.
That said...it's a pretty poor ROY race. It wouldn't be MCW like but in all honesty, not that much more at this point.
He's the second best players on the team as a rookie. He's going to get paid. I'm not sure how other rookies are doing but Castle is balling out.
How have Risacher and Sarr been playing this season? Has Castle really been playing better than them?
More interestingly, if the re-draft were re-done tomorrow, would Castle be the #1 overall pick?
Both Risacher and Sarr were picked for their high ceiling. Castle dropped to 4th because of his questionable shooting. Because had he showed more shooting consistency, I think Castle could’ve gone number 1. All things good him going to our pick instead.
Risacher n sarr also picked for height...if he ever gets more rbs n blocks than them I'd be surprised...again u put any of top 3 or mccain maybe wells on spurs n they may have near all star numbers
Sarr is garbage.
Agree on Sarr, but not sure that’s the reason ZR was chosen. IIRC he was seen as the most plug and play/safe pick, so more of a higher starting floor prospect than a higher ceiling potential one.
I do think Wiz will regret passing on Castle. That’s who many of there fans wanted.
Risacher has played fine but he isn't shooting well and it's a big issue with shooting being his main offensive strength.
Sarr has shown some flashes but he has been mostly bad. As expected, he isn't ready. What strikes me is how Wizards are atrocious this year. Their +/- is -15.9 which is crazy bad. Their young players are too raw to play a major role at the NBA level and their main vets, Kuzma and Poole, aren't the kind of players that makes players around them better. They may be even worse than the 10-72 Sixers.
Sarr has been sort of alright, at least on defense. Don't think he'll ever be worth a #2 pick and salary. He's also coming from a wildly overrated NBL league that may be G-League level in developing young players. Offensively he's not good at all so far. Somehow he got slapped with a "good outside shooter" label without ever being a good outside shooter.
Risacher has also been an awful shooter. But he was always a really poor shooter. It was this single stretch early last year that established him as a supposedly good one, which he may not be. I think he'll be fine as a player, but not worth a #1 pick.
I'm learning to take my time evaluating new players. This draft class doesn't look as bad as expected. Or, at least there are flashes here or there. It's just that some of these lottery guys have not looked ready at all.
Careful! Karma may strike back.
Welp, so much for Stephon's RoY chances.
Yeah, Castle really looked like a rookie tonight.
Still really early. We’ll see how the season plays out. ROY is definitely up for grabs though.
Kicking myself at passing at the opportunity to get him at +1800. Had the bet queued up but decided against it at the last minute. Typical move by me, tbh, I'm a horrible sports bettor
I quit sports betting after putting money on the Spurs to win Game 5 of the 2004 series vs the Lakers. You thought you felt like when Fisher hit that bull shot, try losing money on it too.Kicking myself at passing at the opportunity to get him at +1800.

I was close to putting $100 on Wemby to lead the league in blocks before last season when it was at +2500.Kicking myself at passing at the opportunity to get him at +1800. Had the bet queued up but decided against it at the last minute. Typical move by me, tbh, I'm a horrible sports bettor
Of course, with my luck the next 50 times i see a chance like that I would lose.
That's gonna change very quickly if Mitch keeps having him come off the bench, tbh.
Yeah, I'm justifying it to myself by saying if I would have bet it on Castle then he probably would have suffered a season ending injury or some ... so I did the Spurs universe a favor by staying away
Kind of funny Steph became the favorite after some bad games just because McCain tore his meniscus.
Crazy. I think Knecht will win it though. Not sure Steph is such a big favorite now
