It’s too early to say, but I sure hope this turns out to be true.

Weird to write this when Reed Sheppard has looked so good.

I had Castle number one entering this last draft cycle. I was a believer in the vision of him as a jumbo athletic aggressive point guard who just hadn’t fully had the opportunity to grow into a true lead ball handler, he was more of a combo garden High School but still a solid Playmaker
Even when he dealt with injuries I never dropped him out of my top 10
And in the year I had him number two on my big board
So it’s safe to say I’m a huge huge huge fan. I think the kid is awesome. And I’m so excited he’s a spur
But we need to really chill out a little bit on the expectations right now.
He looked about as I expected in summer league. Like a much better playmaker and passer than people gave him credit for, a dog, a defender, and someone that can get a shot off whenever he wants, but currently kind of struggles to make those shots
But if we’re going to clown on rocket fans, timberwolf fans, or people jumping the gun and already calling sarr A bust (And for that matter, people who called Victor a. Bust after one game last year) We can’t seriously be making statements about how he should have gone number one already
It’s just too damn early, the sample size too small, and the competition in which he played way too funky
Let’s revisit this around February or so. And even then all statements and takes should be still treated gingerly
This is going to be a crazy draft class. There’s going to be some dudes who looked terrible in summer league, some dudes people on the sub barely know about, who absolutely blow up.
Let’s give Castle some time

Good ole’ Bleacher Report. Hot takes, overreactions, and click bait
I had Castle #2 on my board, in a tier with Reed and Clingan. Early returns have been good, but I ain’t taking victory laps yet

I have a feeling he may end up the best in the class but maybe doesn’t get the credit he deserves because playing with wemby. Like no matter how good castle gets he’ll always be the #2, while some of these guys in the draft might be #1 on their teams. But I’m a fan so all I give a shot about is championship

I think he could be the best rookie by the end of the year but I wouldn’t say he was a steal just yet

I agree. It’s not easy to find 6’6 PGs. Especially ones who are so good at defense
Sky’s the limit for him if he can polish his jumper

Nah, I’d say Reed Sheppard should have gone no.1 Castle probably 2nd-3rd

He was a great get, but I think Reed Sheppard is the top guy. Clingan also looks the part. Spurs will be happy with Castle, but I’d still lean towards these other two.

Clickbait. He played 2 summer league games. The rookie who has looked the best so far is Reed Shepherd, and even that is too early to say he should have gone #1
