Castle clip

Where is this clip from? I saw it yesterday on here in another Castle thread but was wondering where Castle was and who he is playing against. Just curious.

UConn focused on getting touted freshman Stephon Castle adjusted to college game

“I think if he allows the coaching staff to be hard on him, let them bring out the best in him, I think he’ll really go to another level,” redshirt sophomore Alex Karaban said. “He has a talent, he has a physicality, he has everything that most freshmen aren’t gifted (with) when they come into...

Season 2 Kidding GIF by Showtime

He's got a great feel for how to change speeds for a college Freshman. That and the defender having to respect the fact that he might go straight into their chest and bully them to the basket really plays up his speed.
 
He could be the best finisher at the rim we ever had at the school. Elite level talent of body control and knowing how to get his spot.
 
He has some special stuff for his size and position. I mean he’s taking Andres spot, a whole different player. While he may not have some of the things AJ brought here he has some thing’s already that AJ never had. Interesting comparison on impact. Same goes for Spencer and Hawk. I don’t see a huge fall off overall at all and there’s an argument we could be better at those spots with time!?!?

lol'ing at the guy telling his teammate to stay home and then immediately getting bulldozed out of the way
 
I think him being the leader scorer overseas might be telling of how his season could be. Kid can be the most talented perimeter player in every game he’s in.

I’ve thought about this as well. Hawk v Spencer I think we lose the prospect of him going off for 20+ but hopefully we make up for it with consistency. I really don’t know what DC will bring on the offensive end as more of a focal point this year but I have high hopes. We haven’t seen what he can really bring to the table with more minutes and plays designed for him but I think he’s going to surprise people on that end. Sanogo was one of our five best scoring big men I’ve seen play for us. I think Tristan will be more of a scorer this year, castle will be an improvement offensively and our bench I think will be better on that end as well. We do lose two top offensive players who were historically good in my view but we have the opportunity to be even better.

I kind of agree, Castle and Spencer are probably more well rounded than Hawkins and Jackson offensively speaking. Hawkins' and Jackson's high points are probably higher (shooting and athleticism respectively) but their low points are probably also lower (rim finishing and shooting again respectively). Hard to tell with Castle as he has yet to play a D1 game, but Spencer has loads of tape out there to base things on.

This is kind of interesting without understanding the criteria (it doesn't look weighted by frequency) used for the selections. I don't see enough "in the paint preference" considering Sanogo for Uconn preferences even though nearly all of his shots would be in the paint. The offensive board putbacks of others as well. On the other hand, Carrot Top's UCLA team is all in the paint??

He doesn’t have to consistently make 3’s. Gimme that pull-up all day

His shot looks better than I thought .
The thing with a guy like him if you have to respect his shot it exponentially increases his ability to get to the Rim or facilitate. . My heart rate v when from 60-85 just thinking about a guy with his skills being able to shoot off the Dribble . It’s true I’ll probably die watching a game but that’s not such a bad thing , hopefully the game is decided because not knowing the outcome , getting the box score , or a watching a replay would be H**l .

He gets to his spots. Fortunately the carry isn't called anymore.

Careful, I mentioned same thing about the carry in the other Castle thread (UConn getting him adjusted to the college game) and BGesus4 said my age under/over must be 96.5!

Discussing carrying no longer being called is not a young man’s sport

My 12 year-old got called for it in her travel league after I taught her to wrap her hand around the side of the ball at the top of her dribble. To be fair to those refs, she was getting her hand all the way under the ball and holding it up for almost a full beat before turning her hand over and pushing it back down.
