Castle is def all star potential, his shot needs improvement but his D and drive to the basket is there. He bodies veteran defenders on his way to the paint and his passing is underrated
In 2 more years Castle will be the #1 pick in a draft redo. Nice game last night vs. Grizzlies. Mitch Johnson is a pathetic coach. If Brett Brown has been made acting HC, Castle would be ROY and team would be 5-6 games above .500 and a 6th seed at least.
@@TheMilitiaGuy I try to give the guy a little grace because he’s never been a head coach before. I wouldn’t say that he’s pathetic, but I would say that he definitely makes a lot of first year coach mistakes. Some games he does a great job some games. I’m like what the hell is he thinking? Depends on the night.
Bro you are absolutely tripping with that Stephon Castle take. He just dropped 23 the other day then dropped 26 last night. His offense is there and this is his rookie year I know with the Spurs development and playing alongside a generational talent in Wemby they could dominate the west and both be all stars 💯
This guy doesn't watch the games, to justify his ranking, just looking at the stats, Stephon Castle is the best 1on1 defender in the draft and a good finisher inside and from the eye test alone it looks like he's one that has all-star and all defense potential. And offense doesn't only come from shooting, He can drive inside, has good hesi moves and he's a strong guard that can finish with contact and he has shown flashes that he can be a good playmaker as well, He just need to improve the 3 point shooting which he will in the future, he has a good shot mechanic. Just watch the rookies before you make a ranking like this, don't based only on stats, because you need to rush your videos.
He's already an impact NBA starter, all he needs to improve is his overall finishing, outside and inside. Which is what every rookie ends up improving on, to various degrees. He has a very good chance of becoming a 17-20 ppg player and who is always in the all defensive team discussions. That's an all star. Only way this doesn't come to pass is if he can't improve on that 25 percent three pointer. Even then, in the last game Memphis literally dared him to shoot, he went 2/9 yet he still killed them inside for 25 points.
You don’t become All star with defense. If he stay in SA, Wemby will be the first option. And how they build the team he is like Derreck White. Wonderful player but not All Star. Hi he makes a crazy jump on his shooting, it’s possible. But it’s really not guaranteed.
I'm pressed to say Castle is in the 1 time allstar team being as a Spurs fan I can say Stephon Castle is way more developed on both ends of the floor and as a playmaker than either Derrick White or Dejounte Murray were at this stage in their careers.
Nice game last night vs. Grizzlies. Too bad Mitch Johnson is a pathetic coach. If Brett Brown had been made acting HC, Castle would be ROY and team would be 5-6 games above .500 and a 6th seed at least.

He’s 1 of 8 rookies averaging more than 25 mpg, only 1 rookie (bub Carrington) is above 27 mpg. Minutes are not his problem, efficiency and half court offense are his problem, he sucks so far in a lead guard role.
Too bad Mitch Johnson is a pathetic coach. If Brett Brown has been made acting HC, Castle would be ROY and team would be 5-6 games above .500 and a 6th seed at least.
@@Adbar10XD I get what you’re saying, but if you look at the role he’s been playing it changes from week to week because he’s a sub for sometimes Vassell who’s shooting guard and sometimes Sohan, who is a forward. Castle is a point guard and pretty much never plays point guard Minutes, which is understandable because the Spurs have Chris Paul. However, I do feel like if they just put them in there as starting shooting guard he probably would’ve done better as far as efficiency. Plus if you look at his most inefficient games there when he’s not in the starting lineup.
Nice game last night vs. Grizzlies. Too bad Mitch Johnson is a pathetic coach. If Brett Brown had been made acting HC, Castle would be ROY and team would be 5-6 games above .500 and a 6th seed at least.
Castle going to make a +1x all star. 12 games with 15 points+ playing stellar defense. He struggled when he came off the bench once Sochan came back but I guess he was just getting used to it. It's also worth noting that Castle drives into the paint A LOT and gets heckled. Once the referees start giving him that whistle and he gets stronger to be able to finish at the rim, his efficiency should improve.
Castle has the highest ceiling imo but I understand being skeptical of his poor efficiency… he’s a player where if the shot does become real and consistent he has everything else to be an All-Star

As a Detroit fan, I'm glad we drafted Holland. Great defender already, decent enough offensively for his role, and he fits in so well on our team. The kid was ready to scrap in one of the games, really fitting into the gritty Detroit mold we're going for. Once he hits the gym some more, I think he'll be a very good starter.
Not at all lol. He literally just getting tons of minutes. It’s not like he’s impactful or doing anything crazy with the mins. It’s simply volume. He’s starting as is and getting all sorts of opportunity and with him as a starter, they’re pretty much the worst team in the damn league. He hasn’t proved anything at all and if this were a starter then this shows that your team is absolutely horrible starting him. So you wouldn’t start him if you were a serious team
@@grapeape1965you clearly haven’t watched much of Missi in game. He routinely produces highlight reel blocks and has shown an incredible feel for the game considering how long he’s been playing basketball in general. As he continues to add weight, he absolutely looks like a rim protector you can build a scheme around.
Blaming the pels struggles on missi is absolutely wild lol. He’s very very far from the reason they’ve lost. He would have a lively level contribution on a winning team. He’s consistently been the bright spot on this team all year long
@@tjreed4fr. I don’t rly care anyone’s take who isn’t a Pels fan because I KNOW they aren’t actually watching his minutes. The thing ppl aren’t seeing is his growth. It his INSANE. You’ll see him make a rookie mistake one night, and the very next night he’s not just making the right read he’s making a play from it. I rly can’t remember the last rookie on any team I’ve seen it like that. He’s only played basketball for 5 years, but you can tell as a person he is just smart as hell. It’s gonna come together. His hands are gonna improve once the game slows down for him, and by year 3 he’s gonna start being 15-10 automatic for years.
It's kind of crazy how you only single out the Wizards as a bad environment, as if Utah isn't 10-29 or Miami isn't dealing with all of these Jimmy Butler/front office issue or the Bulls haven't been stuck in no mans land with a top 10 pick stuck on the bench. It's really just not necessary to dig into a team like Washington that's in the first year and a half of a rebuild. A lot of teams have bad situations.
Jakobe Walter needs some more respect imo he’s been better than a lot of rookies this year especially considering there was an injury to his shooting shoulder
Small guard that can't defend and isn't an insane passer. I really don't see it, sorry. Maxey only looks like an All Star caliber player next to Embiid
I think you need to watch the Spurs more with Castle. He is going to be solid starter. He is strong, can finish, he can play make and can play defense. It is just his shot really. His play has nothing to do with Chris Paul. He actually gets more opportunities without paul.
Nice game last night vs. Grizzlies. Too bad Mitch Johnson is a pathetic coach. If Brett Brown has been made acting HC, Castle would be ROY and team would be 5-6 games above .500 and a 6th seed at least.

Phew, Wizards got called a bad environment like 11 times 🤕 I don’t like Sarr’s chances at a dpoy though. It’s just gonna be Wemby and Cooper Flagg for like 12 years.
Good analysis on Reed, as a Rockets fan I just wish we’d give him more opportunities in games that are already decided. Ime doesn’t sub him in even if they are up 25 in the 3rd and stuff like that, it’s frustrating to see sometimes.
I wouldn't be asking for apologies on Scottie just yet. He has developed an inside game that he hasn't shown his first 3 years and that will only get better. The dude is 6' 9" and plays the game the right way. Team first. Has to improve his shot and handles but he is really killing it defensively. He is averaging 20, 8 and 7 and not sure why he is always being criticized. The team has been riddled with injuries all season and missing a true point guard.
Buzelis is playing well in the last 10-20 games. He has it, just needs a little more time and of course more playing time. He is already a shot alterer. He isn't a good rebounder yet. His shot is fine.
Minimum 1x all star. Nice game last night vs. Grizzlies. But Mitch Johnson is a pathetic coach. If Brett Brown has been made acting HC, Castle would be ROY and team would be 5-6 games above .500 and a 6th seed at least.
Saying Ware could be a good starter but knocking him a tier because Spo won't play him w/ Bam is pretty odd. I thought the list was what they could be, rather than what they are right now
As a bucks fan you are completely right about AJ Johnson. Jon Horst had no business drafting a project pick like him. In hindsight it's easy to say some of the later picks are better than him, but picking someone who could have helped at least a little bit with the rotation would have been so much better for this team.
You have no idea what you’re talking about with the spurs. You earn playing time based on defense. Castle is going to be starting next to Vic for years.
Mitch Johnson's pathetic coaching is costing Castle the ROY award. But Castle will get better in Year 2. He will be an all-star at least once if not multiple. "Area 51" (Castle-Wemby) will be synonymous with "D" and pick-n-roll.
Every name you mentioned that got drafted after AJ Johnson felt like a gut punch. If we had Ryan Dunn we would have 3ish elite defender (AJ Green is good, not elite) and be so much deeper
loving all the uploads on this channel matt🙌
THIS
Castle is def all star potential, his shot needs improvement but his D and drive to the basket is there. He bodies veteran defenders on his way to the paint and his passing is underrated
Castle will have the best career overall I think. I really think he could be a taller, more athletic, Jrue Holiday type.
In 2 more years Castle will be the #1 pick in a draft redo. Nice game last night vs. Grizzlies. Mitch Johnson is a pathetic coach. If Brett Brown has been made acting HC, Castle would be ROY and team would be 5-6 games above .500 and a 6th seed at least.

People forget CP3s affect on young guards, SGA and Dbook really came into their own next to CP3
You don’t become All star with defense.
If he stay in SA, Wemby will be the first option.
And how they build the team he is like Derreck White.
Wonderful player but not All Star.
Hi he makes a crazy jump on his shooting, it’s possible. But it’s really not guaranteed.
had a great game last night, i can see him being a 3rd option kinda glue guy for them
I’m happy for Alex Sarr, he was struggling a lot but now he is getting so much better! I hope he keeps improving

Castle would definitely be a front runner for rookie of the year if he got more playing time
i think he still will get it with mccain being out

Castle when he start , he give you 15 to 20 a game
this draft class feels like it’s pure potential
As a Detroit fan, I'm glad we drafted Holland. Great defender already, decent enough offensively for his role, and he fits in so well on our team. The kid was ready to scrap in one of the games, really fitting into the gritty Detroit mold we're going for. Once he hits the gym some more, I think he'll be a very good starter.
Spurs would have taken Holland at #8 if you guys had not screwed it.
All castle needs to do is fix the jumper and he’s got all star potential for sure
Missi def shouldve been in the starter tier

Off the penjamin again these vids are so good
Yves Missi is leading all rookies in rebounds and blocks per game…he’s literally the best rookie so far 🤡
Buzelis is more of a "Haven't seen enough"
I would put one, if not both, of Edey and Clingan in the All-Star tier.

keyshawn george has shown his versatility and can finish
Djurisic got injured in summer league he’s on the College Park Skyhawks the Hawks Heat and Rockets AJ Griffin Pelle Larsson and Djurisic trade
I wouldn’t be surprised if Missi wins rookie of the year. At least top 3
Edey is going on 23 and over his last 5 games is averaging about 6 points. Williams is 20 and is stepping up his game. Am I missing something?
Is that a death-threater?
No, a love letter 💌😢💔
Dalton Kanect is going to be like a Malcom brogdon type player
I love this video
How can you look at Ware’s numbers and say ‘showing promise’
brother havent really watched Castle play hahah nothing wrong tho
When you thought about the guy that got waived when u wear speaking about reeves, I think u meant boogie Ellis
Johny Furphy played for kansas jawhawks lol love the vid
Jayhawks**
if harper and bailey in this class easily one of them 1st pick
Sarr is too soft for his size and height. Hopefully he toughens up more as time goes on. Guards are not afraid to attack on him.
ajay mitchell would’ve been roty if he didn’t get injured 💔
McCain best rookie this year not even close.
Buzelis is gonna be a good starter
Dunn will be solid starter!
Scottie at 47 still wild bro sorry 😅
Another spurs player disrespected ! Castle will at least be an all star. His shot needs work but he’s got the intangibles that can make him sooo good

Wait wait wait, so Stephon Castle isn’t going to be the GOAT? 😂
I'm biased, but jaylend wells is already better than "a good rotational piece"
Hes rlly solid i can see him as a solid starter
What a joke. Yves Missi should be WAY higher.

no Clingan?!

Why do you hate the Bucks so much?
🏀
Wizards are tanking.
Too low for castle u trippin
This is a bunch of bs.
K
Damn this class sucks
It is you that is suking, darling 😢
It's shitty class. No one will be allstar from this class.
Castle...book it.
