The problem is castle has said he wants to play pg
everything they have done in the recent past indicates that the Spurs want a wing sized PG. The "positionless basketball" approach seems to be having size at every position with everybody being able to handle the ball. My issue is that we don't have a HOTS. You need somebody who can become a legit 1-2 punch in combination with Wemby, which constantly leaves the defense scrambling and generates open shots. That's why a Dillingham is more intriguing to me than a player like Castle.
2. Nothing
If we draft Matas we're ed, he is a definitional bust.
Add Salaun to that list of ed. Matas or Salaun drafts are horrible. Both are busts. Book it.
Yeah, I don't want to touch Mantas as I don't see him having the handles to play SF, I think he is destined to either player PF or be out of the league. I also don't see him fitting in with Wemby as a lot of his offense would push Wemby out to the 3 ball line. He can't shoot and he does not play physical at all to many times he does nothing on offense or defense he just disappears for long stretches of time
This kind of comment puzzles me. The Spurs won five championships with small PGs. They currently have a small PG, who they drafted themselves. Where is this recent history of going for big PGs?
Castle is definitely in play for the Wizards at number 2 as he fits in the backcourt with Poole.
Clingan, Risacher, Sarr are the other 3 in play for the Wiz I think.
Can’t see anyone else, including Topic.
There are no high end 20+ league scoreres in this draft. Dillingham will not be, you'll see. He won't even be a starter in the long run.
Next year you'll get the high end all star level players with more skills.
Hope not, then the Spurs will end up with Topic at 4.
Salaun with an a meh stat line today in Cholet's loss to Paris Basket.
You could blame Franz for that too. But Parlo isn't a great interior defender. He did improve alot. Carter and Issac obviously are. Snuggs made them that good this year. He was a big part of that. Also, I am just considering that it's easier to find a shooter and poor defender than a strong guard defender with offensive limitations.
I like the idea of a big wing sized PG, up to now castles jumper isn’t there but there’s no predicting on Castles jumper in the future. And if the spurs have to invest in some shooters good!
Castle’s asst/TO ratio is 2/1. He’s not worse as a playmaker than Cade,and in fact he’s better.
Castle is a beast if you look into the program he played in and his highlights he’s a bully. I was not high on Castle then saw he’s almost as tall as the available wings and the possibility he plays PG. The biggest question is whether to pair him with one of the smalls or a bigger wing in this draft.
Fwiw, the newest Down to Dunk podcast, a thunder media podcast, the 2 hosts were big Buzelis fans and griped about him going to the Spurs and mad that with 2 picks there was no way the Spurs passed on Buzelis twice.
Weird
They also have a weird refusal to criticize Presti, and acted like the Thunder were too asset poor and couldn't have possibly paid the asset price to get PJ Washington or whatever, very defensive over the cost to acquire players despite having the most draft picks ever.
Also insisted that the Hayward trade was a good one and they would do it the same with a second chance. Huh?
At least Spurs fandom has debate and differences of opinion, thunder people all seem like cultists.
There’s no way the Spurs are leaking they are big fans of him if they actually are lol.
It’s either a smokescreen from the Spurs or someone with ‘sauces’ making up or assuming .
To be precise, he said he wouldn't work out for any team that already has a point guard. The Spurs definitely don't have a point guard.
Castle would bully either of the BOS Gs and hold his own vs Williams. I’m sure the Spurs are taking a hard look at him.
Castle paired with Sheppard or Buzelis would be a strong draft for us. May be more ideal to get the shooter then target SF/PFs in 25.
24-25 season best last chance for another PG “experiment”.
It's literally just outsiders saying what they think is happening. Teams can sometimes get a sense of what is going on, ie, where workouts are planned or not planned. It's no one's surprise the Spurs might be interested and I'm not really sure what the smokescreen would be for.
Castle is almost an inch taller than Keldon, same wingspan. Keldon’s got about 2” in standing reach over Castle. Sidy’s the same height but just slightly longer than Castle. Castle at point guard would give us a jumbo lineup.
Tre was never viewed as a starter. The only reason he started was cause the Sochan at PG experiment failed and even after that Pop started Branham at point until he got injured.
fans these days have a hard time discriminating between what fans/outsiders think and actual veritable sources. "Donovan Mitc to the Lakers makes sense" translates to at least 2k retweets and media outlets will treat it as a rumor. That's how unserious sports media is as an industry.
I promise you those idiots from Project Spurs also go here and scrape this space for article ideas. They aren't very slick and none of them are even remotely competent.
they tried sochan at PG
they tried branham at PG
wesley isnt "big" but he's 6'3 with a 6'9 wingspan
they tried primo at PG
before that it was dejounte murray
tre jones was drafted in the 2nd round to be a backup
