Stephon Castle Season Highlights | Offense & Defense | 2024 NBA Draft

[@luv4jets]

I think Stephon and a Lamelo ball would be a perfect match to go along with Brandon Miller. Lamelo and Stephon could interchange positions. One guy plays the point and the other guy plays the shooting guard. Brandon Miller and Miles Bridges should see a lot of scoring looks.

[@RalphCif]

He is so patient and confident for a freshman it’s been incredible to watch all season as a Huskies fan. I feel one of his biggest strengths is he is elusively quick and powerful on the offensive end, it’s hard for defenders to properly time defending a shot or slash move to the hoop

[@mohammadalsagheir5832]

Every step/movement he takes is with a purpose. He definitely knows how to play the game. Physical, tall, and strong which is a huge plus too.

Made for the NBA. Gonna be an all-star

[@TonyVillaguin]

As much as I like Rob Dillingham, Castle game style is the kind of PG the spurs look for. Then players like dillingham will come off the bench as a spark. We will see what they do

[@anthonytobias5459]

I think Castle and Cody Williams

[@TonyVillaguin]

@@anthonytobias5459 Can’t go wrong with Jalen Williams brother

[@anthonytobias5459]

@@TonyVillaguin Next draft is loaded also. The Spurs have a ton of draft picks next year. I think this draft is about drafting players with the most upside. I think Castle has more upside than Dillingham because of his athletic ability and defense.

[@anthonytobias5459]

@@TonyVillaguin I think the Spurs need to improve on the defense more than offense. They need to get back to being a lock 🔒 down defensive team. Look at the TWolves how many athletic defenders they have.

[@jordandaher9652]

@@saylessdee8800i get where everyone is coming from with this but I think the best route for the spurs would be building a defensive team. You can easily have the best defense in the league if you put some perimeter defenders around Wemby. I think adding a perimeter defender and playmaker in castle is the best possible outcome for them in this draft.

[@knightowl-vt8nh]

@@jordandaher9652 Couldn't agree more!

[@jordandaher9652]

Despite their physicals being different I see a lot Jrue Holiday in Castle. Though there’s some risk taking him because of the shooting I have him 2nd on my big board. One of the only players I can see in this draft being an all star if he puts it all together.

[@ColdasISO]

Agreed, or even Pat Bev style?

[@luiscesarvargas8421]

Can he shoot the 3 or 20 footer’s?

[@jordandaher9652]

@@luiscesarvargas8421he was a fairly decent shooter in high school and has promising mechanics his upper body is just a bit stiff when releasing at the moment because he has to center the ball more on the base of his shot. There’s reason to believe he can be a 34-35% 3 pt shooter which is all he needs to do to be a very good player.

[@mr.b6629]

All he needs to improve AT LEAST is his 3pt shooting then he will be a great 3-D player.

Spurs draft this man and risacher

[@mrjonsey]

People fall in love with high end athleticism when most of the best players in the league aren’t like that. Lebron, Zion, Embiid, Ant and Giannis off the top of my head, are the only freak athletes that are top 20 players in the league. Jokic, Luka, Tatum, Steph, Kyrie, KD, Booker, Brunson, Halliburton, AD, Kawhi, PG, Dame, Sabonis, Banchero, Harden, etc etc are all elite players (or were) without elite athleticism.

[@jackbirch6816]

Any chance he falls to the bulls at 11?

[@NoCeilingsNBA]

There's always a chance, especially with this draft class. We always see a player "slip" thru the cracks on draft night. Some will be very high on Castle, others could have questions about the shot etc. This class is going to be very important (more than usual) when it comes to "fit"

I’m seeing nothing that’s going to translate to more than a role player in the nba

[@mrjonsey]

Most NBA players are role players, not everyone can be a star my guy.

[@giovanniosbourne1819]

I see it too. But he's gonna be a helluva role player, the type that could be one of the main others on a championshop team and consistently give you a lil bit of everything in a playoff series averagin 15ppg, 5 reb, 5apg, 2 steals to compliment your stars. And occasionally hell go off for a 20 or 30 bomb. He's gonna be a solid player for a long time with the way he plays.

[@AlexScarbrough-nn8lt]

@@mrjonsey exactly my point unless you have a top 20 player mostly all role players are interchangeable Denver is good because of Jokic, Gordon, Murray. Not to say the other players are trash but substituting mpj for Herb Jones, bogon on the hawks, Harrison Barnes would produce the exact same result. Role players are not going to raise the profile of a team unless a star comes in during their contract. Most likely they don’t even play for the team anyway and go somewhere else and blossom on a bottom team. Collin Sexton. Or a more stacked team Aaron Gordon. The chance of a role player sticking on their first team is usually low. They will be in about 3-6 years go somewhere else as trade capital or FA so the pick usually means nothing for the original team.

[@mrjonsey]

@@AlexScarbrough-nn8lt there are different levels to role players. He can be a Jrue Holiday type of player and that kind of player isn’t a star but highly valuable.

[@AlexScarbrough-nn8lt]

@@mrjonsey and what did Kure holiday do his first 8 years in the league for Philly and New Orleans? Absolutely nothing. Any good role player is not going to make a impact for like 5-10 years when they go to a new team unless they go to a team that’s already stacked like Pritchard and can just play a role with no pressure. So they are not even worth talking about right now. Whatever team drafts him won’t go anywhere and he’ll be somewhere else in 5 years. Not to say he won’t be good at some point. But the chances of him making an impact to his drafting team is slim to none
