How would you guys rank Castle in relation to Flagg, Harper, Bailey, and Edgecombe today?
If you’re talking about prospect Castle, probably behind only Flagg and Harper. It’s close with Edgecombe, but the on ball creation gives Steph the edge. Not a huge Bailey fan. He’s not any kind of secondary creator, and doesn’t defend, and we already have enough defensive deficit players on this squad.
Flagg
Harper
Castle
Edgecombe
Bailey
“I’m mic’d up stay away from me”
This how that young fella thinks while live on the big stage.
Castle really looks like a 3rd yr player amongst his rookie contemporaries. Tough, talented and without an ounce of en lement.
It's really cool to see him develop. There will come a day when the coaches have to give him his due. His ability to handle things so well might be part of the reason he's been on the bench.
If Castle was coming out in the '25 draft instead of '24, he'd be pretty firmly behind all 4 of those guys as a prospect.
If you're factoring in how he's looked against NBA level talent for 50 games then I could see the case for him being ranked ahead of Edgecombe. But in theoretical upside, those 3 pretty easily clear Steph still.
This is coming from somebody who's pretty high on Castle tbh.
My thought was that he lacked ONLY a consistent jumper, and that everything else was there, paint penetration and scoring, passing, and monster defense. Bailey, for example, lacks defense, consistent finishing, and any creation for others at all. I would have him clearly behind Castle as a prospect, and will get ahead of the pack in seeing him as this draft’s Cam Reddish, the guy most likely to bust. High ceiling, but treacherously low floor.
As a prospect he's behind them all, although I'd probably put him ahead of Bailey on my board.
Eta: When I say he's behind them all I'm referring to how most teams would rank them.
When I said Castle should start instead of cp3 who was the guy to say it was a bad idea. There were few here.
this guy is taking over All-Star weekend by himself. He's been the talk of the town so far.
He's the new "the Spurs have done it again." Haven't had one of those in a while.
When did Kyle Anderson join the coaching staff?
The past two days have been amazing exposure for Castle.
The NBA is not just about "being good". Peer (and referee) acknowledgment has as large an impact as your actual performance.
Having had a great dunk contest showing is putting his name on everyone's minds. Great things for the future, and the ROY is now his to lose.
Castle's composure is off the charts for a 20yr old rookie. I wouldn't doubt that he rises to the occasion yet again tonight against Shaq's team.
He's a killer. My gut says that he will take some big steps during his first 2 off-seasons. The Spurs need to wake the up and give him more minutes.
I'd hate to lose him.
I feel like he was the consensus 4th pick. I kept watching mock draft videos and websites and it seemed like he was always there being chosen at 4.
I do wonder what the Spurs would've done if the choice was between Reed and Castle at 4 though. Thank God the Rockets took Reed though so I don't have to wonder.
But yes I know, Castle was being scouted by the Spurs a long time ago
The Spurs would've taken Reed, if timvp is to be believed.
Come back from the ledge he’s smart enough to understand the concept of soft tanking and humble enough to let CP3 complete his swan song. Next year is about winning aka CASTLE TIME!!!
We needed a PG and shooting badly. That’s why Sheppard was on our radar, in addition to the fact he was ranked 3 v Castle ranked 4. Thankfully the Rockets were dumb enough to stick with that order!
Is Sheppard a bad player or is he buried on a good team? I love Castle, but I'm not sure Reed is bad.
He’s a combo guard, meaning not a pure PG or strong playmaker, who is 6’2” with a 6’3” wingspan buried on a deep roster. If we had to send our 3 or 4 overall pick to the G league people would be losing it. BUST ALERT
The Spurs have picked a body type for the last decade. It would have been sad if their departure from that had cost them Castle.
Mitch thinks that's Vassell
Our boy hunts!
We should call him the Predator!
I'm just happy we have a team to root for guys
Rising Stars MV P this year....
ROY
Hopefully All Defense next year
