Castle ROTY watch

[spursgu]

Castle has looked legit, some growing pains early on but he's so poised and doesn't ever seem discouraged.

[Dex]

I love what we were seeing from Castle and hope he continues to start even after Tre and Jeremy come back.

I still think RotY is a stretch unless he significantly increases his scoring. 8.5 points and 2.8 assists per game doesn't necessarily jump off the page.

does he start when Jeremy and Sochan come back?

[The Truth #6]

I think the biggest challenge will be when Tre Jones comes back. Not so much that Castle won't so get minutes, but will he be forced to more of an off the ball role than he is now?

Is this the new 20131 like thing?

Not practical for ROTY due to he will lose mins once Sochan and Tre is back. Also Devin have to be in the starting lineup eventually. Castle might be back to the bench soon as it make more sense to put 2 three points threat (dev and julian) with Wemby.

It would be a big win if Castle can get into rookie 1st team

Julian's hot stretch seems to be cooling down, so Devin should definitely take his spot

Wondering if a lineup of Paul / Castle / Vassell / Sochan / Wemby could eventually pan out, but hard to see Barnes going to the bench

If everyone gets healthy and Castle looks good enough, we could always trade Barnes before the deadline.

I think that is a pretty good possibility, since this rookie class is ass.

Who is Castle competing against for ROTY?

I don't see any strong candidates really, if he keeps playing 25'-30' even off the bench as some point, it's his.

He is 8th in scoring. There are a bunch of players who have better stats than him, including 2nd round picks. He'll have to average 10+ ppg to enter into that conversation.

[Mugen]

I don't think he'll have the counting stats if/when the team gets healthy. But I do think in 2-3 years, people are gonna be wondering why he didn't go #1 in this draft tbh.

[baseline bum]

He’s worthy of starting. No other rookie is putting up significant numbers. If they start him then he’s in the discussion. I think he’ll return to the bench when Vassell returns to the starting lineup but I’d love to see Paul, Vassell and Castle start.

Damn I hope not. I'm one of the biggest Champagnie fans on this board but Castle has earned his starting spot.

I think Mitch wants to start him no matter what. If and when Pop comes back is another story. If Mitch continues to do good, shouldn’t he have a good consideration to take over the job?

It's 11 games into the season . And the guy everyone claims is the favorite is averaing 11 ppg(Edey)

We just need one game where CP3 gets rested before Jeremy and Tre are back, I want to see that Castle/Devin/Champ/Barnes/Wemby lineup.

He really started his "campain" 2 games ago almost, I don't see another player with same status, with same impact offensively AND defensively

What other players do you see competing with him?

[Raven]

i think Castle wins the roty if he gets to be the pg off the bench with 25mpg.

just look up other rookie stats

[Pauleta14]

just look up other rookie stats

I did and can't see any profile that could be a threat. Hence my question

Stephon is only starting since a cple games to "pad" his stats so I don't care about the stats with so few games played, I talking profile, talent and role

[slick'81]

When hes aggressive attacking the rim hes a menace
