Stephon Castle drafted 4th to the Spurs!

[Mr. French]

I truly think Steph is gonna kill it in San Antonio. He’s going to an insane 1-2 with Wemby

It was my main want out of this draft - it’s easy to root for that team the next 10+ years. The fit is excellent culturally and on court. The “Castle 5” looks great in black and silver. It’s all gravy. I admit I wanted Sheppard with him.

Looks likely, per the other thread:

Just saw this. He played maybe 20 ish minutes game last year so this has to be to mentor Castle and the other guys. I’ve never been a Spurs fan but always respected them as an organization. He’s set up for success.

Yeah, no way CP3 can still be a lead PG at age 39. Probably will be a similar role as what he played last year with the Warriors (maybe a few more min/game).

Is CP going to be a good teammate?

It depends what you mean by that. By all accounts he’s a very serious dude. I would say from what I’ve read about Castle, his family and our program then yes. He’s a Kobe type competitor and leads by example. The issues I’ve heard about with teammates were with happy go lucky type guys that maybe didn’t prepare like Chris did. I could be 100% wrong though so who knows? Never had the pleasure of being his teammate….yet.

Is CP going to be a good teammate?

Dunno. But he runs an elite PG camp. Should be a good guy to have around to ask questions.

This would be fantastic for Stephon. Chris Paul is a very high IQ basketball player and would be great at teaching Stephon all the things about running the team as a floor general.

He will give Castle fits in practice, at least at the beginning.

4 years, should be around $41M with the first 2 years guaranteed

Life changing money, and I have a feeling the Spurs are going to love what they see and pick up his option, and probably get him on a second contract

If anyone is really bored, locked on Spurs has some footage of the first few practices. Nothing terribly interesting.

Ingram is great, really liked him on UNC.

Spurs' Stephon Castle opens up on why he and Wemby will 'be scary for the league,' joining Chris Paul and more

The former UConn star and No. 4 pick in last month's NBA Draft sat down with CBS Sports during Summer League

Good publicity for Stephon and UConn.

In Stephon Castle, did Spurs find future star to pair with with Wembanyama?

 

[ToolzieFan]

He just looks so comfortable out there. He’s ready to contribute right now, and if his shooting improves just a little, he has star potential.

If he can morph into a jumbo PG vs a secondary ball handler at the 2, he's gonna be soooooooo good.

 

[Mr. French]

I’ve been on this train for awhile…he’s a PG with Jimmy Butler’s body and Jrue’s defensive prowess.

Saw a Spurs account that says his floor is Jrue and his ceiling is SGA.

I bet you can find me saying similar things a year ago plus. I happen to agree lol

That's the wrist he fell on, but likely also precautionary.
