NBA Bound Stephan

I havent seen the Xavier game yet. Waiting for the replay. But i watched the highlights. Castle finished an and 1 in the first half where he was forearmed in the face pretty hard. And there should of been a call on fancy reverse in the 2nd half. Very nice finishes in both cases.

We have a small but loud portion of posters who relish when freshman play poorly because they like to make some point about the failure of one-and-done. It's weird.

I'm not relishing every time Stewart misses a shot because I thought Ross would earn minutes before him. Players doing well is... a good thing.

If he showed a consistent jumper he would be the #1 pick. I don't know what some of our fans are watching...

He's as good as it gets in the country at finishing, he's a great passer, he's a great rebounder, and he can guard 3 or 4 positions. We've yet to see the best of him and he's already pretty damn good.

there's also the portion of fans that selfishly want our underclassmen to "underperform" compared to NBA draft expectations so that they can stay in school in longer, as if putting guys in the league sooner doesn't help the program.

That's all true and on top of that his attitude has been fantastic. Tough kid who's all about the team.

A player with 5 years of experience in the NBA will make a minimum of 2.3 million per year, with the amount slightly increasing up to 10 years. I think they’re doing alright.

Average career is less than 5 years?
 
Really don't get this BY concern about Castle's shooting. The guy is unstoppable inside the paint/filling the lane/using the hoop to get a finishing shot off/going to the hoop. It looks to me like he's showing respect to the veterans on the team who are excellent shooters within the flow of the offense. From what I've seen--He's got nice form on his stroke from outside. As the season goes on and he gets more strength in his legs post-surgery--He'll begin to show more explosion and athleticism. Danny has said he is impressed with his coachability and his humility. He's a great teammate.

Enjoy him this year. His Draft stock is only going to continue to rise.

This is the most absurd thing I've ever heard. Have a kid leave college, where they're receiving an education and making NIL money with the hopes of guaranteed money in the league, then pull the carpet out from under them and leave them with nothing when they don't hit the ground running their first year?

This will NEVER be considered by the player's association.

Caveat emptor. You are right. That would be a crazy deal for the player to sign.

And they’re all on the game chats. The reason I haven’t been on it in 2 years

Salary caps should lead to parity, which if you look at this years nfl ratings are a good thing. I just think the minimum salaries should be adjusted more frequently. The nba is already a mess because the players have too much power. All businesses need some type of structure to be successful.

The nba is a mess?

The nba has no structure?
Wow
Saying that you’re misinformed would be an understatement
It’s an immensely successful business that has grown tremendously has great relations with the u ion
The salary cap grows every year
They are constantly tweaking the salary cap
They are growing in every way possible for a G league to the summer league to internationally
You might wanna rethink your comments

I don't go to game chats either, but all anyone says about them is they're full of people getting crazy/reactive about everything that goes wrong. Doesn't seem like a great use of anyone's time

I think there is also a wish to see Castle play just badly enough that he comes back for his sophomore year.

Like wishing you could get hit by a car so you might be able to sue someone. Kid is really good and growing before your eyes. Improvement/Learning curve still no sign of plateau. Watch UConn hoops and have fun!!

If you’ve ever thought “man, I wish there was some place where I could read all the worst Boneyard posts aggregated in one place” the chat is perfect for you.

I used to be a regular on the chat through every game. Now I only log in sometimes if we have a big lead late.

Has that ever happened? Or, are we still waiting on the first?

I don't know but agents are in so many players ears. They ruined bowl season andI hope they don't wreck the tournament.

But at least they're always rapid-fire/steady stream. No waiting needed.
