[Sidery]There are whispers of Stephon Castle and his camp potentially not being willing to do pre-draft workouts for teams with starting point guards already in place.
Not sure I saw this posted anywhere yet, but Castle's group may be pressing forward with trying to control his landing spot.
A bit to unpack here. First, if true, this boxes out all of Detroit, Charlotte, Portland, Memphis, and probably Houston. It indicates that he won't be happy getting stuck in a corner on offense while being POA defender on the other side.
On one level, he's thinking about his career, and standing around watching LaMello Ball do his thing won't get him anywhere. One must wonder how the Spurs might react to this, however. Castle got accolades for being a good soldier at UConn and fitting in. Now we're hearing that he might have been unhappy only facilitating part-time?
What exactly does he mean by wanting to run point? Does he want to be ball-dominant? Or does a Spurs system where all players are required to make decisions and contribute work for him? Can he even run point full time? Would this bother the Spurs? They normally don't like promising anything. Does it make taking Dillingham a problem for him?
Unusual, at least. For top 10 picks he's sort of saying he wants Wizards, Spurs, or Jazz.
