In case anyone wants the direct link. Good ~6 min interview to go along with the cover.

How many guys play as hard as Castle in the NBA regular season? Spurs games are must watch, and it’s not just because of Wemby. Castle is the guy who gives the Spurs something I never thought I would see on that team - flare. His aggression is demoralizing to opponents.

Oh, and he’s improving his 3’s. Not there yet, but he’s up almost 4 percent over last year. Might hit 35 percent next year.

FWIW. He’s making the same amount of 3s as he did as a rookie (1.2). He’s just taking less of them.

Being able to shoot 3s aren’t as necessary for his game since he’s the full time creator on offense and doesn’t play off ball as much anymore. I love it for him and his ceiling.

It’s a huge deal. If he wasn’t improving as a shooter teams wouldn’t guard him and would swarm Wemby in the post. His and Harper’s vast improvement as shooters lines up squarely with this 29-3 run the Spurs are on.

Especially key in the playoffs when team defense improves and teams try to use every advantage.

Hawkins with another 20 piece. 20 points in 22 minutes on 8-15. Back to back 20+ point games

DC with 18/13/2/2 in a win over the Clippers that gives Portland a pretty good chance to lock up the 8th seed in the 7vs8 play in vs the Suns. They still need to win Sunday vs the Kings but with the Kings ready for Cancun and Portland with something to play for that should be an easy dub.

There were people calling him a bust earlier in the year, I said he just needs consistent playing time the way Jeremy Lamb did.

He will find a role with a team somewhere and have a solid career.

Castle is 6-6 and looks like a child next to Wemby. Still can’t get over how a guy can be that big and that freaking good.

The difference looks as dramatic if not moreso than Castle and the women interviewing. 😆

Not really sure where to put this, but, it’s fun. Castle is just such a monster!
