I can't imagine someone coming from Hurley's program being anything but a great teammate and we have never seen anything but that from Steph in-game.
These crazy swings in effectiveness Castle is going through are just classic NBA guard development. Steph has shown enough where you can tell something awesome is there, it’s just going to be some major ups and downs until we get some consistency. Either way, he needs minutes/reps and legit coaching to push through it.

Yeah even with the ups and downs I'd still take him #1 in a redraft, just like I had him #1 on my board on draft day too. And I'm definitely more excited about Steph now than I was then, as I didn't know he was quite as good an athlete as he's showing himself to be in the NBA. Still the most excited I have been about a non-alien Spurs rookie since Kawhi, or maybe even since Manu. LOL I still remember when we'd be furious at Pop for not playing Manu enough his rookie year either.
We need insider info
very good moves in this game
developing by leaps and bounds
magnificent game by Castle today, incredible
This kid just flat out plays
He is developing those skills
He's gonna be our third star
Mitch will reward Castle with 10min for next game
This will be Castle's team.... not Wemba....
Our new Big 3. They perfectly complement each other on both ends of the floor. But I really like Castle as a rookie already leading the team in free throw attempts, which eventually will play significantly in FO situations. All 3 relishes the clutch situation and seem to get better. I’m really excited about Castle making those long 3’s, and more mid-range on top of those hesi-moves and Castle will be very hard to defend. Great stuff.
He leads all NBA rookies, but both Victor and Fox have more FTA/game.
Wemby has more natural gifts but Castle seems like he's got a lot more fire in him.
If we don't play him enough to win ROTY he's going to hold it against us, rightfully so.
Only because they play more minutes.
If you look at per36, Castle is at 5 FTA, Fox is at 4.9 and Wemby is at 4.
Also, Spurs are 1-9 when Castle plays less than 19 minutes.
14-17 when he plays 19 to 30 minutes.
9-8 when he plays more than 30 minutes.
If Castle’s trajectory continues, he is built for playoffs with his ability to bait free throws at score at will. It’s really a bright future for Spurs fans. I fully expect the FO to be ALL IN from here on, with no stones left unturned.
I like both of them. They are compe ors, they both work hard, and they will both get better. Now the Spurs need to be drafting solid role players to put around them.
Maybe its cope but I cant help but give Wemby a mulligan for his play after the new year knowing what we know now about his medical situation. He simply went from playing near MVP level basketball to being fatigued in the first 3 minutes of games. Chalk it up to allergies, flu/illness, blood clot situation or a combination of all 3, it was a perfect storm of awfulness.
Playing with his usual passion and fire is tough when you aren't right.
If that 3 ball comes along, he is gong to be something serious.
On another note, getting him the ROY should be the team's goal, as it is the only thing to play for now.
1. We should not be trying to win games so...
...2. If we win games, it should be because Castle was good that game, and when that is the case, you live with it.
Castle just outscored SGA in same minutes. Now any defense he played on either SGA or J Williams deserves a flogging. I mostly fast forwarded through the other team’s baskets so can’t really say. BTW, Sochan is who I recalled being our best SGA stopper in the past.
When Sochan rested the 4th, OKC just repeatedly ran a high drag screen to get Castle in a switch, and off SGA. It was a good move, because Castle would be one of the few guards SGA can’t bully in the paint.
I believe Steph will be the team's general, the culture-setter, the vocal leader.
Was Steph very vocal at UConn? He seems like the quiet "lead by example" type.
Not likely, because he was a freshman joining the defending national champs.
At least he’s not a robot like whozits. Seems to interact well with his teammates.
