With Zach Risacher's horrendous last game against the Heat(1 for 11 shooting)- I think Castle should have the ROY in the bag.

He had it in the bag weeks ago tbh. Even if he didn't, votes were collected before the play-in tournament.
We’ll never know. Jaylen Wells also has a hot start to the season before hitting a nasty rookie wall (and that was well before his injury).
I didn't watch McCain play, but was following his stats earlier in the season and he did look good. He shot better from the field and also looked like he can shoot the 3 too (Is he a pretty good shooter scorer?). The rest of his numbers weren't great, but scoring wise, he looked like he was going to have a really good season.
No idea if it would have continued, though, but if it did, he may have won it. Spurs likely would have had a better record, and I wonder if the voters would have given it to McCain if Philly finished with a similar record to what they finished this season with without him.
He was playing a lot of minutes in place of Maxey,and that would not have continued.
I think he'll win (obviously), but I think in terms of impact on winning, other guys (Edey, Ware, Clingan) have been more significant to winning THIS YEAR. I'd take Castle as the best bet long term as a star, given the size and creation, but the shooting was a real weakness that limited his impact this year. It's one swing skill, that can be improved, and with the ticked off he probably moves towards an all star / all star adjacent level wing sized creator.
Ultimately, kind of a debate over whether Rookie of the Year is best player in the year, or, some mix of best player / best bet to become a star...Castle has (at a different level) the same kind of argument Durant had over Horford, relative to those guys. As a rookie, inefficient and high usage, so negative impact compared to efficient role players - but seemingly a much better bet to become a star.

Brace for impending robbery of Stephon Castle's unanimous Rookie of the Year bid
Stephon Castle is about to be hosed out of what should be an obvious unanimous Rookie of the Year victory over the rest of the 2024 draft class. The award hasn't been announced, but the voters have cast their ballots, and some have seen fit to reveal their selections ahead of time.
I actually don’t care about unanimous. There’s always some idiot waiting to wreck that for clicks,like with Ichiro.https://airalamo.com/brace-impending...ookie-year-bid

It’s not even close
Castle should run away with it but not like Wemby did. I can understand Castle not being unanimous.
Spurs need to throw the bag at Engelland to get him to come back and work with Steph.
Pay him a zillion dollars if he wants it, I got five on it
castle's problem isn't his shooting, it's his defence.
Chip is going to get some chips. Why would he leave
If Castle's defense is his problem, then what about most of the other players on the team?
The only reason for him to leave would be more money (and maybe he still has some fondness of the Spurs, who knows).
Which is why they'd have to back up the Brinks truck.
Chip just knew the ship was sinking and left just like Udoka, Messina and Becky. It wasn't hard to see that the old man lost it.
Wemby shooting just fine without chip
he' only ahead of malaki in defensive rating. so, they are all better. But unlike most of them, castle can actually be good, in theory.
Chip aint coming back as long as Pop is still around dragging this franchise down the drain
Castle defense has been bad for a while after a promissing debut.. after Victor was ruled out it seems he focused more on his offense or Victor defense is that good
After Victor was ruled out, he had no paint defender to lean on. That’ll put a dent in anyone’s defensive metrics.
especially when you're drawing the toughest defensive assignment almost every game.
I agree tbh.. I don't think he lost all his defense capabilities all of a sudden, Victor anchoring the paint helps everybody. We may have overestimated those defense capabilities a bit though
