Does STEPHON CASTLE fit well with VICTOR WEMBANYAMA and the SPURS? | 2024 NBA Draft | Yahoo Sports
and the fourth pick in the 2024 NBA draft is Stefan Castle to the San Antonio Spurs he was the unanimous Big East freshman of the Year KP this is a young player that you like a lot tell me why this is my guy in the draft I love Steph Castle I love that he’s going to be playing with Victor wanyama the two of them are going to Anchor the defense he was one of the best perimeter defenders in college basketball as a freshman and then you look at his upside and his potential as a scorer he showed in the final four I think he helped himself the most in the final four games when Alabama said if anybody’s going to beat us it’s going to be you freshman Steph castle and he had 21 points he had 15 points in our Purdue game to go back to back and just his fit I mean you it’s obvious we know that they’re trying to get Playmakers but when I think about Stefon castle and who we reminds me of it has to be RJ Barrett kind of like the the shooting isn’t there yet but the perimeter defense and the and the defense in the back court is and I think he has the upside to be the guy in this draft and a superstar not a franchise play changing player but a starter for the San Antonio Spurs okay okay that’s good stuff and if he can make the right passes at the right time they’ll go a long way because as I look at the Spurs last season their highest net rating for a tandem that played meaningful minutes Trey Jones and Victor wanyama plus 4.3 so if Castle can make some of those passes Trey Jones was making and then add the scoring that you’re talking about yeah now they cooking with Fish Grease they really okay okay Fish Grease he’s he’s a winning player and what I like about him you told me he’s a very softspoken individual he shot 28% from downtown you know who also shot around there from downtown in the Spurs who’s estro kawh Leonard kawhai Leonard is a guy that people didn’t pro project him to be a finals MVP at 24 years old but he is a guy who was softspoken and had a lot more to grow and the San Antonio Spurs if they can they can make him a three-point shooter man watch out Stefon Castle could be an elite player at the next level he sounds like he’s got all the pieces to be very very good in the NBA and stay there so congratulations to Steph castle and San Antonio Spurs very good pick at number four

LETS GOOOOOOOOOOO
I hate when they take players and say if they can play this other position then this will open up. It’s hard enough to get to the nba. Now to ask a sf/sg that was the 2nd/3rd ball handler in his ONE year of college to come into the NBA and be a point guard is ridiculous.
I would hope the spurs are smart enough to not waste a #4 pick relying on a position change.
IMO they picked him to be the starting 3 by year 2. They didn’t see a pg they wanted bad enough in this draft.
rj barette???!?!!!
