Message: [QUOTE="ctbro1999, post: 5046871, member: 13306"] He was drafted that high not because of the player he currently is, but the player teams think he can turn into down the road. High risk/high reward, as there is no guarantee his potential will ever be realized. But definitely a very rough start to his NBA career. With a player like Clingan, the risk is much lower as he has a high floor and even if he only ends up doing 1 thing really well in his career (lockdown defense in the paint), that is still enough to be an important contributor on a winning team. And if he is able to develop other areas of his game (post game, 3-pt shot, etc), he'll be that much more of an impact player and possible All Star some years. Castle is in a similar boat to Clingan (high floor) but has an even higher ceiling as if he ever develops a consistent 3-pt shot, the sky is the limit. [/QUOTE]
