Stephon Castle Impresses in Summer League Debut | Film School | San Antonio Spurs

[@jerryjohnson5132]

Castle's change of gears is fun to watch. He's far ahead of Dejounte Murray as a "pg" at the same age

[@gallici-anima-christiana]

The only reason DJ slid down to the 29th pick was his character and bad reputation outside the court. Spurs still couldn't pass up on him because of his talent alone, he was projected a lottery pick just basketball wise outside of his legal problems and relation to gangs. Castle is the exact opposite outside the court and just character wise on the court. And yes Caslte is more mature with the ball in his hands, more aware of game situations, more unselfish. Offensively they're different and right now Castle shows more potential on that end, Dejounte Murray mostly scored in transition. And even defensively DJ only guarded PGs and SGs, if guarding bigger guys translates to the nba Castle will definitely be more versatile defensively, he's obviously stronger and is ahead of Murray in some aspects, like verticality, not sure on lateral movement though. Not sure that DJ could have staken a step back for Victor Wembanyama to develop. So yeah he's absolutely a better fit for San Antonio in every possible way.

Castle was so lucky to be coached by Hurley and now to be mentored by Popovich/CP3. Add all that to his positional size, strength and bball IQ and you have a star in the making. At the very least, he will be in an All Defensive Team soon.

@6:45 - Thank you for breaking this all down. Your first film study clip opened my eyes to the fact that Stephon Castle absolutely has to improve his jump shot to be effective within this offense. With every center backing into the Baseline not worried about his jump shot will clog our offensive rhythm and not allow Wemby to flourish on that side of the ball. He doesn't need an excellent three-point shot but this shows that he definitely needs an elite midrange shot. GSG!

Appreciate this content! Luv you guys!

Always love the Metcalf content!

On that turnover when he's passing up on that shot Kevin Trevino told him "shoot it" and he started to let them fly afterwards, so I'm not as concerned as you are and that's exactly what Gregg Popovich is going to tell him all season long, he'll want him to shoot it everytime he's open. He's not going to turn that ball over twice, if he doesn't shoot the next one he's getting benched. But I think that Castle understands, it's just a bit in the realm of the unkown for him so to speak. He also took more 3s his less hesitation against China and sometimes he had a bit less space than on those early looks in the first game.

How did you cite AAU usage stats? Nice video.

[@ClayTorres69]

One thing is for sure, Blake Wesley is done.

[@apex8373]

I'm rooting for castle but I think we should have added buzelis too and I'm really high on nikola topic.

[@Alamoe1]

Nah, castle was the right pick

[@sbd7301]

SMH and we let him go to OKC

[@pgiivanlennardesguerra8300]

@@sbd7301 we dont have the luxury like okc does, their team is already set and they have boatloads of draftpicks comming from paul george trade and other trades they did.

[@wilclark4832]

Buzelis is a wayyyy better prospect

[@wilclark4832]

Castle was struggling against China .. the dude is limited ..

[@wilclark4832]

Summer league spurs actually better without him In the line up.. his lack of floor spacing and need to have the ball to be effective is a detriment with wemby … I honestly think his ceiling is role player in the nba .. not impressed with his summer league

[@CombatLegsVIDS]

y'all doing damage control with this pick. spurs should have kept Rob Dillingham

[@Jerbball.]

Spurs didn't trade Dillingham, they traded that pick. This "should've kept Dillingham" talk is useless because they most likely wouldn't have drafted him even if they kept the pick. Also they were able to sign CP3 & trade for Harrison Barnes because they traded that pick.

[@arkadefire5909]

Dillingham will be a bust, he's the worst defender in the class by a mile and waaaaay too small

[@apex8373]

No, if you think dillingham is the next kyrie it's okay. The spurs made the right decision

[@pgiivanlennardesguerra8300]

@@Jerbball. true i think they have 2 people on their radar before they traded the 8th picks, its either salaun or clingan, but both is off the board at 8 so they traded the pick.
