Averaged 13 in an easier conference to score with less scoring options. I’m fine with anyone disagreeing with my assessment. I just think Newton and Castle as his competition for scoring in the back court, have more ways to score than he does.
And I was just pointing out he's probably judging it off of Spencer in the Big 10 instead of 1 summer practice. You're probably judging off of Castle playing against high school competition instead of 1 summer practice.
His reputation and talk from the team and scouts at being a multi level, multi dimensional scorer who will have a lot of the ball from day 1.
I’m not worried either. That’s not a “struggling” 9ppg prediction, that’s just me suggesting we have so many options that I think that’s around where he lands.
Okay, so you're judging Castle off of what other people say about him and not what you've seen him do against high school competition.
No, I have watched games and replays of his pretty consistently. I just think analysis from those who’s job it is to judge and those who play with him carry more weight than my own observations.
He is the best 3 point shooter in an offense designed to shoot a lot of 3s. He is going to be a top option.
Yep, I listed them earlier in the thread. I think Clingan will lead in ppg, rebs, blocks. Newton in assists. Spencer in 3's and steals.
Then we are in agreement for the most part, at least surface level.
I agree, I think he’ll probably hit about 2 threes per game (as he averaged at Rutgers) and then 3-4 more points from other avenues.
They could be scary good next season. I think it's going to be our best passing team ever. We passed it really well last year but Newton, Castle, Spencer, Karaban, Clingan, and Stewart are all plus passers. I don't know how teams are going to stop the lobs to Donovan.
