  4. glad that hes acknowledging how much he can help wemby in the game unlike his current teammates. looking forward to seeing them play

  9. He’s gonna be an all defensive player in 3 years time. Telling ya’ll it’s scary hours if he really develops and shows his offensive versatility cos on defence he locking yo favourite guard up

  14. Its funny cause him playing with Clingan will help him get the ball up for Wemby. Its a huge adjustment for many players, but not for Castle

  19. Spurs made an all-time bonehead move in this draft. Drafting Castle who is a SG who can't shoot at 4 and then trading out of their PG pick at 8. Looks like SAS gonna be a lottery team next year also.

  41. Love it. He’s special. Elite D and great size. His offense will get better but I’m excited for castle to Wemby connection. That’s a big PG 6’5
