Can Stephon Castle be the next Jimmy Butler? | Ringer NBA #nba #spurs
in this draft there is not a player that can get around a screen on defense like Stefon Castle this dude is a defensive Menace should have seen his highlights in that national championship game versus Purdue those guards didn’t stand a chance bro those guys out there just hoisting shots because they couldn’t get around yeah and he was like that all uh tournament long and like you said in a week draft like this you see a guy with that kind of potential you can M the offensive package is going to come guess he’s going to be in an NBA gym with NBA players and NBA trainers every single day what do you think kaight Leonard looked like when he entered draft his off his offense wasn’t there now they call him the robot Jordan all all Jimmy Butler was at a Marquette was this freak athlete could defend had a knack for like knowing how to win which we all know Jimmy has still done now he’s a carried Miami for the P Harbor long he’s a guy that is offensive development it came he wasn’t shooting turn around fadeaways at Marquette in his early days with the bulls he was a cut you never would have thought he was going for 40 in the playoffs no he was a cutter he was a slasher he was always around the rim he stayed in the dunker spot he was like doing all these little things picking rolling like he was a he’s a Swiss army knife essentially

Yeah I heard that about Matisse Thybulle and Avery Bradley too. Tell me I'm wrong. Offense is far from a given.
So uh what did Austin do tired uh hearing he talk
Oh no the spurs found another gem
In the weakest draft in nba history
They might have taken him no 1
Why give wisdom and intelligence to 1 team ohhh basketball gods!!!
Ironically the spurs passed up on jimmy butler for Cory Joseph
So they're not perfect
We should stop mentioning Kawhi in these development discussions man… He's starting to become the exception than the rule. Stan Johnson, Pat Williams, Josh Jackson, OG… how many more "Kawhi"s are we going to force into these talks
Love the Castle-Butler comparison though you can see the path for success with him love that pick
youd be lucky if hed be half as good as jrue holiday
Welcome back John!
Never have I wanted Rivers to be more right about anything.
I could see a Jrue Holiday/Jimmy Butler hybrid as his ceiling but I think he’s a relatively low risk prospect even if he doesn’t reach his ceiling . Athletic 6’6 , long wingspan who is a team player and loves to play defense is at least a solid over 20 minute per game rotation player at worst when he reaches his prime.
Austin Rivers I see coaching in your future.
Castle will be the superstar in this weak draft …
