UConn in the NBA: Nov 24/25

[Scoe]

It's a shame and actually a travesty we made him work so hard to improve his defense during his time at UConn. Everyone knows they don't value defense in the modern NBA. Lots of wasted effort that could have been better-spent working on his mid-range and point-guard skills.

You just have it all figured don't you Hurley and the rest of his staff are clueless.

sarcasm, folks

In my mind, trolling/sarcasm/etc. Works best when half the people don't get it. Gotta stick to the bit.

That Pels team is seriously snake bit right now. Legit four of their top six just out in Murphy, Murray, Jones and McCollum. In addition they have Williamson, Hawkins and Alvarado all day-to-day. That is basically 7 of their top 9.

Wonder if Williamson or Hawkins comes back today.

I've been saying it all along. He really should have come back for another year.

Cam really got hurt at the worst possible time, both Smart and Bane hurt, if Cam was able to go through a complete training camp/preseason it wouldn't have shocked me if he was able to get some minutes

andre is about to get some run now

Chris Haynes must have a good networking relationship with AJ's agent to make this kind of post for him being inserted into the starting lineup

Castle and Clingan play their first game head to head as opponents tonight.

Castle and Clingan play their first game head to head as opponents tonight.

Big night - Castle slowly getting more run

Castle vs Clingan going on now. Clingan is rebounding well but missed some bunnies. Castle is playing well overall, but still can't hit a three.

Jersey swap!

Castle is looking better every night. Needs a couple off seasons to brong his shot around.

Castle highlights here:

Half of the video is in the 4th quarter. Nice breakout game from Steph with nonstop clutch plays to put the game away

Had a good game and wound up with a nice shout out:

Bucks tweak starting 5, use 'energy' to end skid

Thanks to a change to their starting lineup and another pair of outstanding performances from Damian Lillard and Giannis Antetokounmpo, the Bucks ended a six-game losing streak with a 123-100 victory Thursday night over the Jazz.

Let’s hope - he’s 3-24 from 3 so far this year. That’s what will separate him from a rotation guy and a high end starter.

Not much better, but 3 of those 24 were 40+ footers. So I think 3-21 is more accurate for normal three point shots. Again not much better at all.

I think it's fair to think those numbers will come up.

 

[husky429]

I'll feel comfortable if Castle can even be a 25-30% 3-point shooter this season. Plenty of guards make that leap. If he's at 15% or something, then I'll be more concerned about long-term viability.

Right now, though, I'm not worried. He has decent and fairly consistent form. I think reps and confidence will get the job done. Spurs were the perfect program for him.

I don't think that would have been fair to our opponents!!

Needs to keep improving his shot but a high end starter is his absolute floor.
