UConn in the Pros December 2025

OKC D ain't so hot against the Spurs. Might be an all-time D but doesn't matter if they can't beat the Spurs.

Sure, just saying the rest of the season they’ve had, plus last season, shows they are an ELITE defensive team. It’s just a fact.

Castle is a star, today. Castle and Wemby and 3 other guys playing team ball can beat anyone. Especially, if they have an elite bucket getter alongside. Who they acquired last season.

Watching the playoffs and finals last year, while Dort and Caruso especially are absoluetly great on defense, they hold and hack and get away with it more than anyone I’ve seen in recent years. Caruso was actually hanging off Jokic’s back in the western conference finals with no calls.
 
ESPN’s net points per 100 possessions has Castle at 23rd in the NBA. It’s only one metric, I know. Still, he really is a borderline All Star already, though I don’t think he’ll make it in a loaded West.

FWIW, Spencer is 40th (crazy!) and DC is 56th.

Don’t know about that. Ray Allen was pretty good.

It’s a high bar to clear but I can easily imagine Castle getting into double digits all-NBA selections (Ray had 2 total) and more than 2 championships if Wemby is mostly healthy throughout his career. I’d say eventual MVP contender as well but that will be tough if Wemby is a contender every year that Castle is in the league. It could also be that none of that happens… but right now it seems plausible enough.

Easily into double digit all NBA selections? Easily?

Ummm. Do you know how many people are on that all time list? I’d imagine it’s like 10 or less.

It's a little early live in the moment.
 
I’m all for respecting our history as much as anyone. But we’re just talking about Castle being a top 6 guard in the league for 2 seasons. Highly feasible for him.

I don't know what the numbers say but watching the games DC's defense isn't there, especially since he's come back from his most recent leg injury. Guys are scoring over him with ease, including Kawhi putting him on a poster tonight.
