Castle was an offensive weapon for us last year as a second on ball shot creator, and a guy who would constantly mix it up near the rim for points. Ross has no dribble game to speak of, is 100% reliant on a pass to create his offense, then doesn't make the shot. His defense isn't Steph - Steph had super quick feet and would velcro his matchup, was in their shirt. Jayden gets beat often, feet look a bit clumsy, can sometimes recoup with his length. He's high energy and active, and long, not necessarily quick and it doesn't translate to staying in front of his matchup. There is very little similar about their overall game, definitely not hoping for a poor man's Steph, just the best version of JR.

The thing about his shooting is that he has been really open, not bad shots at all - so the 2-15 from 3 is generally on a lot of uncontested shots. He's just not making them.

Ross was net -8 against Zags in 11 minutes. Looking pretty good against RN is a nice to have, but need players that net+. Net- players only value become giving Net+ players a chance to rest, and you hope the damage isn't deep while they are in.
