Love the defense and rebounding from this kid we definitely need that can’t wait for this coming season go spurs go !!!!

Camera man needs to chill

[@bridge2nowhere98]

dawg I heard him burp like 3 times swear LOL

[@chrisgates9542]

Wish we got salune and castle at 8

[@Popovich4President]

me too

[@RazzandJazzSports]

Castle probably wouldn't have been around at 8

[@1mrrichierich]

I’m excited for our Spurs to have him

[@dave210yt]

he seems like a very Spurs-like type of player. next season is going to be great.

[@paulc8752]

This guy is a Jrue Holiday-type player. Maybe even right off the bat. Amazing pick

[@slamdunk2270]

Not right off the bat, come on… But definitely has the potential to reach the heights of Jrue Holiday, if not higher 📣

[@AnthonyLuna-my2ni]

tough as nails, always up to defending the best from the opposite team....hes special!

[@mathieumalecki6332]

"he just took my question"

[@KyoshiHonor]

😂😂

[@Basement_Dweller]

LOL. I'm sure he shot his ass dagger eyes

[@jamespolk92]

seems like a humble young man. character is always first and foremost when the spurs bring someone in.

[@Keepitmov77]

San Antonio you will love this kid. He’s the perfect compliment to Wemby, he won’t pout that he needs shots or the ball. Great team player. He SHUT down 3 big time scorers in this year’s draft that went first round. My opinion, he’s bigger stronger Gary Peyton. Don’t worry about his shot it will come, he made them when needed at UConn. Watch the Illinois game.

[@RazzandJazzSports]

Gary Payton is high praise

[@jameshenry6098]

I like him already

[@TimothyCoronado-lt1dh]

Bro better be ready for the heat in Texas 😂

[@QueenBrieBriee]

He’s ready. He’s from Covington, GA. Our heat is just as bad loll

[@victorchz2156]

It’s already fucked up it’s hot 🥵

[@paulgeorge1316]

I’ve loved Stephon since before the draft. I think he’ll be a perennial all defensive Caliber player along side Wemby. I see him as a Jalen Suggs type of player, can’t wait to see him play next year.

[@BenjaminButton6573]

Jalen Suggs sucks

[@AlessandroAntonelli-n8v]

i thinnk we play him sf while he tries to improve his shooting and get darious garland.i think this is our last rebuilding season,we got our main guy in wemby and our 3rd in castle i truely believe castle will shine in the nba and will make us defensive giants.now we use this season to trrade for players with our draft picks like garland who could be good enough to be our 2nd after this upcoming szn.the rob dillingham trade wasnt the best unless we use the wolves picks to get garland.we would finally get our big 3 and could possibly go on a championhip streak

[@iDrunkk]

Well said

[@OwskiiiGaming]

I think they get a veteran PG he can learn from while focusing on a young wing with a trade. If they drafted him believing he’s there PG of the future then he needs all the reps he can get. He’ll be off ball a lot even as a PG with vassell and Wemby taking most shots.

[@ArturoRamirez2003BS]

Nahhh we cannot have Tre sochan and castle on the floor at the same time spacing is terrible, he will play the 1 and maybe keldon moves back into the 3

[@paulgeorge1316]

Id like to see them sign kcp to a 2yr/40 mil contract, this will be great for Stephons development and the spurs could make a playoff push.

[@cfltwogirls]

The new era TP and Timmy D 💪🏼 Go Spurs Go

[@AppreciateTheGame2200]

they're their own players lol

I like him already but, does he smile?

[@romeocervantes6606]

jrue holiday 2.0 ?

[@phame43rd]

So since we don’t need Dejounte anymore since we have a younger version and a little taller … all we need I feel like is a big/forward go all in on Evan Mobley give cavs anything except Castle/devin/sochan/ and wemby of course slide Mobley between Sochan and wemby and we got ourselves a squad

[@gremlinmachineshop]

Somebody shoulda asked him if he can wait to get out there

Is he going to start ??

[@jermaineknowles87]

100 percent

[@lifeofholy]

At sf

[@al.ce16]

who knows, its a high pick he might, maybe after 10 or so games knowing how the spurs handle things

[@ericperales4505]

Doubt that unless devin vassell gets hurt again or we tanking again for Cooper Flagg to trade for 3 future 1st round picks in 2032-2035

[@spizzz7221]

5star PG talent coming into college. He will start at 1 eventually next season once he proves his handle over Jones.

[@jermaineknowles87]

Lfg!!

[@Lab-Rat]

I hope he pans out and we missed out on Buzelis at 8 with a stupid draft move

[@younglord777]

Did we miss out on buzelis or did we just leave room for cooper Flagg?

[@KyoshiHonor]

@@younglord777 or any other top ten player in that draft class

[@genmargabrielmontenegro3810]

cooper flag is way better

[@DaytonLexington]

I don’t understand trading Rob for picks in 2030 & 2031, like you won’t see those picks for 6 years. Why not draft someone you could use now to pair with Wemby

[@El_Baka]

@@DaytonLexingtonyes you can possibly see those picks in less than 6 yrs through trade which is the most likely scenario. Does not make sense to wait that long unless the spurs know something about that draft class that we dont. Most likely they use the pick for a trade.

[@jeffjohnson9254]

Spurs Muff the number 8 pic.K, how often do you get an number 8 anytime?And what they got in exchange was 2 draft picks.Six years from now you kidding me

[@leonj301]

Yeah Spurs are doomed forever ....🙄

[@phame43rd]

That’s the point there was nobody left except maybe role players a year from now I could be wrong but why have so many young players when we want to win now

[@justinlozano4690]

Bro y'all are the same people saying this draft class is weak

[@justinlozano4690]

They got more cash to give to a free agent plus those unprotected pick and swap could use leverage to trade a decent player they're not going to use those picks in 6-7 years from now

[@BenjaminButton6573]

They using those picks for a trade with keldon Johnson. They want proven point guard alongside Wemby and castle.

[@xavierbehavier6454]

Keldon Johnson replacement , while we get Trae Young as our point guard

[@al.ce16]

he gonna be used as a point guard 100%

[@BenjaminButton6573]

Nah more shooting guard or small foward he can’t shoot so he won’t be point guard

[@HiiPower]

@@BenjaminButton6573 "he can't shoot" and SHOOTING guard makes more sense than PG? He's our 1. We need that height and defense to lock up Luka, SGA, and the likes.
