Castle will make the most All Star appearances, but Clingan and Newton will carve out long NBA careers too. Castle and Clingan will both earn lucrative second contracts.

Listen, I love TN and Spenser, but they are not in DC and Castle's league. Between those two, I am tempted to say DC, but I am going with Castle. I think he can have a Scottie Pippen type career.

Given that Castle will play next to Wembanyama, his chances of playing deep into the playoffs and even bringing home a ring or two puts him in poll position among the draftees.
If Clingan stays healthy he should have a long and prosperous career. Look at Drummond, a dozen years and net worth of 80 million.

if Castle and Clingan both play to their potential, Castle will be a perennial all star and his game is very similar to Jimmy Butler. Clingan will be a defensive force from day 1 and if they really let him shoot from outside could be a blend of Brook Lopez and Rudy G.

I've heard Marc Gasol as a comp for Clingan, and I think that's a reasonable upside extrapolation. A solid 12 year career, excellent defense, good passer, scores enough.
Castle has a bit more variance. He could be a Jimmy Butler kind of guy, but if his shooting never gets there, he'll be limited.

It took Butler a few years to develop his offensive game in the Pros but coming out of college their games are near identical . However , Castle I believe has more talent and athleticism plus he def has shown he has the work ethic.
Castle has the form to be a good in game 3 point shooter. Will he be okay, good, or great, nobody knows. Hawkins had great form his freshman year but shot 33%. It's probably the one skill you wished you lacked if you could pick one bc it can be improved upon. Other stuff can't be improved on.
The rest of Castles game on offense and defense is just solid. He ran into trouble at times trying to muscle through 2 defenders at the rim thinking it was high school defenders.
DC we all know is ready as a defender, and of course there is a lot to learn at the next level. DC will need to show He is an in game shooter, but it's not essential to his game. Bc that could make him great. More important DC has no post game skills that will translate to the next level. So he will certainly need to work on that. With his work ethic, he will improve.
