@joeymiddleton5821 could not agree more we are to quick to label coaches great. I'm still waiting to see the so-called greatness of Ty Lue. Won with LeBron hasn't done anything and yes George and Leonard injuries I get it but Lue is not great. Hurley not yet but let's see what he does this year
@@adamguy6342 They still miss him so frequently though. I don't think it's jealousy like some people have been suggesting, but it'd be really nice to have someone other than Tre Jones on the Spurs who realizes that throwing the ball to the 7'5 cheat code often = a shit ton more points.
@@lilyrubyifyit is technically jealousy. They are trying to take advantage of the Spurs rebuild and are looking to inflate their stats for a better contract but they suck so if they want a better contract their best bet is feeding the slim guy and getting assists to him 😅
He’s gonna be an all defensive player in 3 years time. Telling ya’ll it’s scary hours if he really develops and shows his offensive versatility cos on defence he locking yo favourite guard up
YES, ADD DEFENSIVE PLAYER TO THE BEST DEFENSIVE PLAY IN NBA HISTORY WONDER IF WEMBY WILL BE BETTER THAN BILL RUSSELL JUST NEED A FEW MORE GOOD PLAYERS, SOCHAN VERY GOOD AT DEFENSE. NOW CASTLE. MAYBE SPURS BE LIKE OLD PISTONS WITH BEN WALLACE AND RODMAN AND DUMARS. 3 GREAT DEFENSIVE PLAYERS AND 2 RINGS. BEAT MJ 2 TIMES BUT TURNED MJ INTO FRANKINSTIEN MONSTER. RUclips...
With the new CBA laws, draft picks matter more now then ever. You can only have 2 max players at best on a roster starting from here on out. That’s why this trade matters 😋
I think this playoffs and the Celtics this year proved that team basketball and defense with 2 cohesive stars can be very dominant and that’s what kind of style that pop proved years ago with Tim Duncan and Tony Parker. I think that’s what he’s going for again and what he’s trying to get and find. This spurs team has a ton of potential in my eyes.
@@leviuzumaki3903Celtics were way more than 2 stars. They had 3 guys average 20ppg in the regular season. One of the best defensive guards in the league in Jrue, and another top 3&D player in White. Plenty of talented other player to fill in around them. Whole team can shoot and defend.
@@frankiethefrog1752 buddy im a Celtics fan, it was 2 stars and 3 high level highly efficient and high end role players and they were a team built with a high focus on defense. 😐 the stars were Jayson Tatum and Jaylen brown the role players that could turn it up when needed were jrue, porzingus and Derrick white they played their role scored when they needed to shot threes when they were open and fit their way into the offense and their role perfectly and then put a majority of their focus on the defensive end. Idk if you watched Celtics games much but that’s what they did, jayson Tatum ran the offense a majority of the time all regular season and orchestrated the offense taking turns with Jaylen brown and occasionally jrue Holliday but for most of the possessions they ran all season it went through Jayson Tatum and Jaylen brown. Porzingus got the ball when he had a mismatch got a rebound/put back or an open 3 on a pick in fade. He still put a majority of his focus on the defensive end and playing his role on the team. That is the definition of 2 stars and 3 role players although they are all elite level role players, and elite defenders as are Jaylen brown and Jayson Tatum… 😐.
@@frankiethefrog1752 role players can average 20 ppg 😂 look at Kyle kuzma, role player on every other team is scoring 20 points for the wizards, Miles bridges averaged 20 points for the hornets, is a role player. Also you say he averaged 20? So all of a sudden the nba finals is the only thing you care about? He averaged 12 ppg in the regular season. He turnt up when he needed to turn up like a role player should that’s the literal definition of a role player, the dude played great and has always been super underrated in my opinion however it doesn’t change the fact that he is a role player, he plays his role focuses on defense and turns up his game when asked lol. Derrick white is also a role player in that regard.
"Who are you most looking forward to guarding in the league" "Luka" Man he is going after the best guy in the league. All the best to you. I see a bright future in this Spurs team after they drafted Wembanyama and Castle.
@@dominikesquibel that’s why I’m wishing for Evan Mobley it might be too much too wish for but we have the ammo to make it happen not too many players I see fitting with wemby in the paint Derrick lively was one but Dallas not giving him to us by any means Joel embid at the five wemby at 4 but again nobody will willingly give us anybody that will help wemby destroy the league lol I feel Mobley is reasonable 😭🤣

The question at 0:56 seems a bit disrespectful to me. Guy just got drafted and the questions aren't even about him, just how he can serve one of his teammates. Love Wemby, but come on.
He was a 5* pg coming out of hs, with his defence capabilities the sky is the limit for him and he’s 19. Pops gonna work wonders for him plus he can literally play pg/sg/sf on offence & switch back to the best player 1-3 on the other team. Bet he can probs guard some 4’s he’s that good as an on ball defender. Hope they let him run at pg
Spurs wouldn't have taken him if they didn't want to play him at PG. Castle made it very clear that he didn't want to join a team that wasn't looking for a PG.
of course U really thiink they draft a cat pay him millions? BUt he not guaranteed to b starter he bettta learn real fast that Trei Jones is the starter N will have prove he deserves the role.
Spurs made an all-time bonehead move in this draft. Drafting Castle who is a SG who can't shoot at 4 and then trading out of their PG pick at 8. Looks like SAS gonna be a lottery team next year also.
Keep doubting us. Stephon is a dawg, a defender, and can shoot the ball. Good felicitator and has played PG with another stud center. Thats the next duo pf the century just watch.
@@kaibrigance8244 He can't shoot though, that's the problem. He shot 26% from 3 and 75% from FT as a guard. You expect those numbers from your PF/C not from your PG. Sure he can defend but if he can't shoot he's never going to be even a serviceable guard in the NBA never mind star. At BEST he might become an Alex Caruso type player in the NBA.
