He just continues to get better. Love to see it. Should be getting a lot more than 19 min/game though. Mitch needs to cut the bull .

Rookie Castle>Rookie Wemby in terms of maturity and BBALL IQ. Let's hope the 2 get meaningful minutes with Fox next season
Stud in the making
The new big three is here
then we break new ground >> create the big four ????
The Flag is coming? hahahahahahahahaha
The allstar game also helped optically for many reasons, not least of which was that he was on the same team with the next two challengers (Eddy and Wells) and he looked the part of ROTY compared to them. Those other guys looked like wallflowers.
Just here to admit again me beeing a Reed Sheppard guy at draft day.
Stupid me.
Good thing the Rockets passed on him tbh
Nice ten game sample unlike Vassell's 4 game "turning the corner" sample.
Still way too early to write Sheppard off. Though I was leaning Castle over Sheppard on draft day and am very glad the first three picks played out the way they did. Really didn't want Sarr and would have only picked Risascher if both Castle and Sheppard were already off the board.
I would have taken Sarr over Castle then Castle was second. Didn't like anyone else that much and definitely wanted no part of the Kentucky guards.
didn't want sheppard and wasn't upset that we traded away dillingham. i was pumped when castle landed in our lap though i can sort of see the logic in why houston passed on him.
I think if the Rockets took Castle and the Spurs took Sheppard, things would be looking much different right now.
Castle's non-shooting would have probably kept him from having a spot in the Rockets rotation and Sheppard would probably have had much more chances to showcase and develop himself with the Spurs.
My biggest fear was the Rockets wising up and taking Castle.
4 game win streak coming out of the ASB, you heard it here first.
It's way too early, but he looks like a giant bust to me. He's physically overmatched every time he's on the floor and his only real skill is outside shooting. And he's shooting 27% from three, which is worse than Castle (28% and rapidly improving) who supposedly can't shoot.
The Rockets way overthought it. Take the BPA, always. Like the famous Bobby Knight line about Portland taking Sam Bowie over Jordan because they needed a center, "They draft Jordan and play him at center!"
2-2 would be a massive W tbh
I expect Sheppard to get his shot going at some point, tough for a rookie to play with any sort of confidence when you look over and see Ime scowling after any mistake and then pulling you. The problem for Reed even if he finds his shooting is that he is more than a just liability on defense, he is a giant gaping hole on that end. Think how badly Austin Reeves gets tortured on D and then realize that Reeves actually has like 4 inches of height and 6 inches of wingspan over Reed. I don’t see any path for him other than just being short stint microwave scorer as his best outcome.
Once Dillingham weighed in at 164 I was completely out on him. Still remember that draft lottery special where they had Castle and Clingan standing on one side of the host, Dillingham and Sheppard on the other, and all I could think was Castle and Clingan looked like their dads.

This article has an interview with Castle after the dunk contest. Seems like he really likes both Wemby and Fox (and SA), so that’s good.

Steph is so solid in himself. Real confidence and doesn't take . So happy that he is showing strong signs of becoming star/superstar. What a find.
His mini-slump a while back was probably his abbreviated version of the rookie wall.
It was cool seeing he and Amen Thompson together in the (stupid) ASG. Steph's offensive upside is miles beyond Thompson. If Houston had them both, their D would be pretty sick. But, they don't and we do.
We are 2 3 & D types and a backup center away from putting something together here.
Castle has already got my vote for ROY.
they gon lose the first game
