I literally watch every game.
You’d see that they aren’t in the game much at the same time. So most of Castle’s production comes with Fox on the bench.

We’ll see how it continues to evolve as they’ll eventually have to play big minutes together if Castle keeps showing he’s too good not to play and start.

Some seriously impressive clips here. 2 fast break dunks off of individual defense, confident three point shooting, and the insane hesi that’s becoming his signature move

Did anyone watch the game? What happened that made him a -12 in a 10 point win?


Wizards went on a run when he was in the game during one stretch. Not sure if Wemby was out or not during that.

First half - he came in up 32-13 and left with it 40-35. I think he had 5 of the 8 points in that stretch … probably wasn’t completely innocent of the defensive struggles, I didn’t see it.

Yeah, they’ll eventually phase out Chris Paul methinks. He also hasn’t been playing great defense, as I noted. It happens. It’s for the best for the team, again.

Castle had some nice plays!

Holy hell, Castle is great and all but that was some of the worst matador defense I've seen. I couldn't tell if that was a Steph highlight reel or a set of Charlotte bloopers; that team is awful.

I mean mentally, it has to stink when you come out in the draft process and say one thing, the team completely buys into that and into you, then does something like this when you were starting to play your best basketball.

Now you’re coming off the bench during a time he was figuring it out because a team did exactly what he didn’t want to happen.

If you’re the Spurs you do it, but from his perspective I’d be upset still because he was trying to avoid exactly this situation. And defense is a pretty mental thing.

Dude, he’s playing his best offensive ball NOW and is averaging like 27 mins while Fox has been here. Are you his mother? This is getting to be a bit too much.

So happy for Castle and Clingan. Andre is starting for a playoff team so he definitely deserves praise for that, but these two are really making national names for themselves early.

They will represent UConn in the league very well

+/- makes no sense, probably the number 1 stat that needs to be abolished. Clingan has a monster 18 point, 20 board, 3 block, 2 steal game and somehow -10 +/-....like, ya, k.

Well they lost by 11 and he started. It’s not that crazy.

Ayton is out for about a month with a calf injury so Clingan is gonna get his shot again, hopefully he stays healthy

It is because it doesn't account for the fact that your 4 team mates can play like @$$, not even so much specifically here, just in general.
Well, you said it makes no sense. It makes perfect sense, even if you don’t like it on a particular night.
