Why is he the best fit with Wemby? We don't know if his skillset will translate to the NBA. I'm all for taking a gamble with high upside player with #8 pick, but we need someone who's guaranteed to contribute from day1 with #4. He played for Ignite that's getting disbanded, most players...

Anthony black shot 39.4% on 1.4 attempts in 17 minutes from a further 3 point line than Jimmy did in college.

Butler shot 0% from 3 as a freshman, which is was Castle is. That 38% was based on 0.9 attempts per game over his last two seasons. Not exactly a decent sample size.

I don’t think he wants to be a 30% guy so much as he doesn’t want to be an 18% guy playing 100% off ball.

Mama's boy.

Yeah Mantas is the same

Yeah, he could improve, but what are the chances of him becoming a Jimmy Butler? Less than very slim. What are the chances of him becoming a true reliable 3pt threat? Again, very slim. My problem with Castle is that his most likely outcome is becoming an Anthony Black, tbh.

Your post does bring out a couple philosophical points to consider: 1) Upside vs Floor- I'm most cases you want to err in the direction of choosing upside, but in a draft as poor as this one does that calculus change? Does upside have a lesser chance of 'hitting' than in other drafts to the...

Can't think of two worse commentators tbh. Not even Clyde Drexler sucks as much as these two astoundingly annoying blow-hards, and that's saying something.

I feel the same way. Castle's size, defense and driving ability give him a really nice floor. Its not like his shot is completely broken like Sochan either. Good chance he can turn into a good shooter.

I'd probably be fine with him at 8, but Manu's comment that we intend to be competing in 2-3 years + the fact that's there radio silence from the FO about him makes me think he's pretty high on our board.

I like Castle, just please get a fucking shooter with the other pick. Castle/Sheppard is my ideal duo probably, although seems like a bit of a long shot.

The dude reminds me of Jimmy Butler and is a proven winner. Do it RC

Not you in particular but I’ve been lurking on this board since high school and the amount of whining and cliff jumping is wild. There’s discourse and there’s acting like an emotional bussy at every decision made by the FO. There’s way more of the latter.

If he had absolutely no semblance of playmaking nor passing ability, then he'd be a lock to play point for the old man tbh :lol

On less than 1 attempt per game. Castle attempted over 2 as a Freshman, which knocks is percentage. Butler didn't even attempt 3's his first year at Marquette. He didn't start shooting them until his Sophomore season and then finally attempted 1.5 per game his Junior year at 35%. All we know is...

Because he's really bad for his level with the ball. Have you watched him? Honestly he's pretty awful attacking closeouts or making more than a straight line at the basket. He's phenomenal in the open floor, very fast and aggressive. If he can get a straight line at the basket, it's a phenomenal...

Butler shot 38% from 3 in college.

It would only be pessimistic if we had already drafted Castle and we would be here bitching about him, tbh. :lol So far, we are only showing concern about a prospect that might or might not end up being a Spur.

Dillingham FITS WITH WEMBY better than all other options and that should be the #1 priority imo why gamble he will be there at 8 if he is the best fit with wemby? Dillingham can shoot lights out, is sneaky fast, wants to be is S.A. and the spurs need a PG now buzelis - if you watch some film-...

Knecht would probably be a solid player for us. Limited in some areas for sure, but he brings the one skill we need most in absolute spades. He's just not the type of player the Spurs have prioritized drafting. As much as I might like him personally, I don't think it's the path the Spurs seem...

Quit it bro you’re making too much sense. Don’t you realize this is a competition to see who can be the most edgy and pessimistic fan on this board?

As for the workout thing... gaming this out. If dude truly wants to be a 30% usage PG, he's mistaken. This isn't his future. He's too slow, his vision isn't the greatest. But I get his point: he doesn't want to exclusively play off-ball watching LaMello or Scoot do everything. Rumor included...

Scouting reports said the same about Jimmy Butler coming out of Marquette. Not saying Castle will become Jimmy, but he at least has the physical tools to become a similar type of player. He's also a high-character kid who reportedly loves the game and really wants to be great, if you believe the...

Why is there this misconception that Risacher can't put the ball on the floor? He will never be a main creator, but as an off-ball player that attacks out of spot-ups he's more than fine.

:lmao 32 million dollars taken out by an old sandal :lmao :lmao https://x.com/TheCradleMedia/status/1795776454447243770

It is very unlikely that he ever develops his 3pt shot to that extent. Even if he did, Castle doesn't the handles, nor the pull-up game to become an all-star type player. He basically would need to improve his entire offensive repertoire.

In this draft, there are two players who combine shooting and defense in any measure, Risacher and Reed Sheppard. But they appear to top out as role players. Too slow, limited handles, limited in defensive upside, etc. I'll leave out Carter for now. That's it. Or, you go for a player who is...

Castle's still my guy at 4 as of right now. Risacher will be long gone and any prospect we take is going to be a gamble cause it's a shit draft. Just the way it is unfortunately. Castle at least offers great (and potentially elite) Defense right off the bat and has the size and length to defend...
