Way too early as some of these rooks will hit the rookie wall at some point this season
Knecht also pooped the bed so they all fell

Still second, even though they say he could've easily been 1A.
I actually think it's Castle's to lose because Nurse is on the hot seat and is already giving less minutes to McCain.
If Castle played for LAL he'd win the ROY already.
Castle has been so solid, consistent (for a rookie) and played within his skills, it's hard to think that he would decline. He'll hit the wall, at some point.
My only fear is that he gets replaced in the starting lineup and that hurts his campaign. Of course, it could help his stats, but, ROY goes to starters 9 out of 10 times.
I think Wells will leapfrog everybody if the Grizzlies remain top 4.
I think Julian will go to the bench and Devin will be starting at the SF soon enough. Steph has been way too good in the starting lineup to get demoted back to the bench.
Our defense will take a hit because Champagnie is noticably bigger than Devin, but I agree that Devin needs to start.
The actual decision when it comes to the starting lineup is between Castle and Jeremy. Can't have both in the starting lineup, would ruin the spacing.
I think it'll eventually come down to two options:
CP3/Devin/Castle/Barnes/Wemby
CP3/Devin/Champ/Jeremy/Wemby
Anyhow, as long as Tre is out, Castle will spend a lot of time with the bench unit because we have noone else to run the floor.
And I'd like to see how things play out when CP3 eventually rests for a game or two.
We'll have to see how it plays out with Jeremy vs HB for the PF slot. I'm not going to write it off without seeing it given how much better a shooter Devin is than Julian, not to mention how much better Devin is off the dribble. Hopefully they can get away with it.
Devin starting will take away touches from Castle, directly lowering Castle stats I believe. Strategy wise it’s better for Devin leading the bench while Champ has become an ideal 3&D
Guess who?
Anyhow, Garland/Mitc duo is at 16 attempts per game combined and they make more than 40%.
Wemby/Champ combine for 16 attempts and are barely at 35%.
We're 7th in attempts and 21st in 3pt percentage.
Cavs are 4th in attempts and 11th in percentage.
Big difference, we can't afford to have both Castle and Jeremy with their current level of shooting.
Castle has a real shot at ROY now if he makes a push for it and can stay healthy.
Doesn't even need a push, it will be no contest when Grizzlies get healthy and Wells' role is reduced.
Damn they really are trying to capture the Flagg
Wow, sucks for Philly. They're cursed it seems like. Good news for our rook though. As long as he keeps doing what he's been doing he should have ROY on lock

Might as well at this point tbh. Their season has already been derailed by injuries.
What’s funny is Paul George leaving the Clippers to sign a 4-Year Max Contract with Philly cause he was tired if all the injuries there and wanted to finally contend for a Championship, and the team he signs with immediately loses all their best players into injury and now have a worse record than the Clippers
Not if Castle is sent back to the bench.
I know Philly had no other options but it was such a terrible move. Giving a max contract to a guy who also gets injured a lot. Paul George thinking he’s still worth max money tooMight as well at this point tbh. Their season has already been derailed by injuries.

This will be the narrative: Castillo ONLY won because McCain went down. Which is unfair since Esteban was on track to overtake him as a matter of course.
Nah he just wanted the fourth yearMight as well at this point tbh. Their season has already been derailed by injuries.

Should’ve put money on Castle.
A certain little white dude from Kentucky nowhere to be seen.
To be fair, neither is his 124lbs Kentucky running mate.
