Message: [QUOTE="pj, post: 4614479, member: 2524"] Castle and Newton are very similar players. If 18 year old Stephon Castle gives us as much next year as 21 year old Tristen Newton gave us this year, we'll be very pleased with him. Maybe he's a better prospect because he can do similar things at a younger age, but he's not necessarily going to be a better player for us. And Newton proved to be a perfect fit for this team. We were so skilled and deep, the only way teams could beat us was to harass us physically, beat us up, force turnovers, and disturb us to get us to foul in return or forget our identity. That worked for a while, but the team figured it out. Newton was tough enough to stand up to it, and calm enough to keep his composure. Thank you Tristen! You were the guy I wanted out of the portal, so glad we got you. [/QUOTE]
