Wemby on Castle: “Three or four games into the preseason, he told me that the game is finally starting to slow down for him…I was like, it took me 50 games. It took him 5. I think we are going to see some exponential progression from him.”

On Castle’s ability to control the game: “It’s a trait you find in most excellent players, really good players that they can control the pace of the game and really control the game.”
On Castle’s next play mentality: “That’s a real strength. At that age, you either got it or you don’t. And he’s got it for sure.”
man castle going to be so good his defense and basketball iq is incredible for a 20 year old rookie. its super encouraging to see castle start to make at least one three pointer per game .which is good sign that he can be a decent three point shooter in future .
I was excited about castle before we drafted him, but actually watching him in the games makes me think he will be the second star we need next to wemby. If we can get one more via the draft, or vassell takes another leap, then we are good to go.
We just need a bench and shooters. Tbh I’m down to put vassell off the bench and have him just be a scorer there and help keldon with that. Plus vassell is a good defender to help boost the bench defense.
Kid has a great feel for the game and amazing footwork. His shot has a few things to fix, but it’s much better than it was a year ago. If I were to critique anything it would be his not quite being accustomed to the rookie treatment with whistles. You can see his frustration at times.
