that's preposterous
Castle appears to use a lot of discretion in his offensive game. I think he’s packed full of BBIQ and he should show marked improvement throughout this season. Would be great if he could arc his ppg up to 18 to 20 by the middle of next season.
that's preposterous
I’d be happy with 15ppg and not letting Bub have better rebounding numbers…earn it don’t win by default
he's averaging 15.5 points per 36 as a rookie in his first 2 months
Chris Paul and Tre Jones are on expiring deals, he may see a e in minutes/role next year
when is the last time we had a 36mpg player? Never? 20 years? when is the last time we had 4 players with 30mpg or more? never? We usually have only one player playing over 30mpg and i don't see why that would be castle, next year.
vassell averaged 33 minutes just last season.
dejounte averaged 35 in 21-22
derozan averaged 34 the year before that
per36 is just a shorthand since its a readily available stat. its not farfetched for him to reach those scoring figures next year. those are lofty expectations but achievable
And there goes Castle’s chances on the ROTY.
he's been playing like the nba's worst player tbh. They are already starting to read into how he plays, which is earlier than expected tbh. He needs to work on his game and find a role, rather than try to be free flowing
Castle is regressing. Now that he is back on the bench. It would be a miracle if he is on the all rookie 2nd team
he has been consistently playing horrible for a while. The decrease in minutes was overdue. He will figure it out, he needs to go through the process of understanding what he can get away with and what he can't, there is no rookie going away with the award anytime soon.
Yea he has not been the same since the game against Pelicans where he hurt his shoulder.
CP3 seems to be head on winning now and rather influencing the coaching staff on the starters and rotation. That could mean Castle will be relegated to backup PG duties instead. I doubt he makes ROTY now.
Not a lot of rookies are playing well.
Step away from the edge
Can’t keep a champion down
Teams figured out he cant shoot the three and he bullies his way to the hoop with some hesitation moves. He's kinda one trick pony on offense right now which isn't the end of the world for a rookie. Without a three point shot he'll be a guard version of Sochan.
Rookie wall. It happens. Everyone should relax.

Castillo is a veritable winner. He’s learning that there are limits to his bullyball style at this level and is still working on his shot ans well aa first step, but he’ll be ok.
I think it has more to do with him being sent to the bench and having less minutes. Castle was never efficient, his value came from getting big minutes and his IQ gave him good numbers and impact in the long run playing alongside the starters. In limited minutes, surrounded by lesser players, his numbers and impact were always going to decrease. I would have kept him on the SL, tbh.
Ja'Kobe Walter has entered the chat. 27 points on 9/18 (6/11). Fouled out with 2:40 left. Bummer.
I would have as well, but it's hard to argue with wanting to get Devin and Sochan in the starting lineup, and Castle and Sochan definitely can't play together right now. In some ways it is nice to have to make difficult decisions like these.
He's not playing well at all the past few games, but the NBA's worst player?
He needs to mix in the hesi move intermittently, and not lean on it so heavily. Teams are starting to wait on it.
for those 3ish games he was truly dreadful. of course, i don't expect it to continue, and he was a lot better against portland already.
17 pts and only 13 minutes. Castle didn't drop his level, he's just getting less oportunities with a full roster, and that's a ing mistake.
I’m still not sold on a Fox trade… but a moving Devin out for him does open a pathway for Castle that currently seems blocked, and I think that’s a mistake.
