Stephon Castle Scouting Report | 2024 NBA Draft Breakdowns 

if he falls yeah, the hornets might get him i think if not they tricking themselves...again

That's exactly what I'm thinking, been a Spurs fan for over 20 years. Since Wright started drafting he's looked for players at this size and with this skillset. They have publicly stated small guards are not priorities and especially if they project as a negative on defense (sorry Dillingham). I'd prefer Castle at 4 and either Matas, Holland or Wliams at 8.

Spurs would be passing on a dynamic scorer. Dillingham gives me Kyrie vibes. I just don't see another wing being able to crack our rotation. Especially when you have money to get you a proven 3 and D NBA player. Elite PG are so hard to come by these days, and most teams aren't going to let their top PG go for cheap. Not drafting Dillingham would be a huge mistake. Spurs have their wing players. They need a starting PG like Kyrie to play with Wemby, and he's the closest thing to it. People just don't get that Wemby is Jokic, Porzingis, and Durant rolled into one guy. He can do it all. With his abilities, he allows the team to make moves we are not used to seeing as Spurs fans. Just imagine if Parker came into the league with a killer jumper and 3 pointer. That's who this kid is.

​@justinscarborough6428 I don't see how exactly Castle would fit into Charlotte's plan, they already have a wing and guard tandem with Ball and Miller, best thing for charlotte to do is get a good big man to pair with them, Donovan Clingan makes sense of he's still there. Castle although listed as a pg will really translate to a wing in the NBA, going wing with Miller on the team doesn't make sense.

​@@spursgoat84 You spittin facts

@HoopIntellect , agreed! You are the best source for NBA draft player reviews, film session breakdowns, short and long-term projections! You cover just about every facet, Keondre!

He'd be a perfect fit. I'm hoping for him if available, otherwise Ron Holland

@@attacksalad2996nah bro holland a blazer you can get castle tho

Agreed - gotta be him or Holland

@@attacksalad2996 right on the money. I’d be extremely happy with either one

Over Risacher ?

Wizards at 2

Spurs 4

Lmao

😂😂😂

with you on that but I doubt he'll fall to 8

Wizards at 2

I’d take him at 4 he probably won’t be there at 8

Who is cartlon?

@@lakeshoresubtleties Carrington

More of a 2 really

@@JJ-gl9mn that’s the beauty of the modern nba versatility, all the top guards in the league right now are combo guards and all the best wings score like 2s but with the size of a prototypical 4 man

Yall taking Topic sadly

@@itmejac6945 nah the wizards gone take that bust for us

@@itmejac6945 I like topic but pass first with limited creation pgs aren’t the wave and never have been the formula on a title team, I like him more so in a TJ McConnell 6th man role then like he’s gonna be an top tier pg in the league

nah i see that

A wing version of Jrue sure. Not sure he's really going to be playing point guard and running an offense like Jrue has

Way more playmaking but yeah. Similar build and the way he just goes through screens is reminiscent of Okoro

Yeah. Hart, Jrue, Smart, Suggs -- really any of the guys who fight through screens, are additive passers, have questionable jumpshots, and making winning plays. Plus he's big/strong enough to guard wings.

​@@michaelahurtJrue is more of a true PG, better playmaker, shot creator and shooter. The other ones are all decent comps

@@nolanrussell6326 Now he is. Not at 19. He didn't even play PG in college. And he definitely couldn't shoot. But Jrue is probably like the best case scenario

He is on 6ft3 with shoes .

Wizards at 2

Hate to break it to you but he won't be there at 8. Might want to take him at 4 if you want

I think Spurs taking him at 4 would be brilliant. Then take best shooter available at 8.

@@ed8018agreed take him at 4 then take who’s left at 8

​@@ed8018no way we should pass up on Dillingham at 4 if he's still available. I just don't see how Castle cracks the starting rotation. And if he can't crack the starting rotation, why are you picking a bench player at #4?! You grab the kid that's gonna kill people on the offensive end. And that would be Dillingham if he's available.

@@spursgoat84 I don't hate the idea of taking Dillingham at #4. But he plays almost no defense. It's hard for me to see him being a longterm starter. He's an undersized guard in a league that's getting bigger and bigger. But if the Spurs think his electric offense game will translate then sure!

He is not a guard. He‘ll play the 3 and he‘s defo what we need. I like Ron and Matas a lot too but Stephon would be great for us

@@ezypeazyy if he plays the 3 (and I can imagine him playing some in certain situations), that means the Blazers will be a bit small and have below average to average positional size. Fielding two 7 footers at the backline may help but who's the other 7 footer?

@@edgames7475 I don‘t so. He has proven at UConn that he is a 3. Idc about size if you can actually play that position. Castle can easily guard 1-3. Also we‘re seeing multiple players rn playing in the playoffs who play atleast one position up

❤️ a starting backcourt called Ant Castle

@@VocalChainsStudio Unfortunately I feel like Ant will get traded. I think they will commit to Scoot and Shaedon being the backcourt of the future

He can score. He played in a structured offense with UConn. You can tell by the way he drives, he drives with skill and pace. Of course he’ll need to develop a better outside shot and tighten his handle to maximize his potential but he’s strong, he’ll be able to get into the paint and finish, especially against other guards.

bad take, his eurostep alone reminds me of dwade. he deff has a bag

I mean there is a lot more to it than that. Williams is not only an excellent three point shooter but has a ton of shot creation from the mid-range. Castle would need to build that from ground zero. He doesn't even really look for pull ups.

Nah that was a mistake by the NBA. Those are Devin Carters measurements

Bruh he doesnt look like 6’2 maybe 6’4-5 even tho he was lister 6’6 in college

@@PTCAL bronny was listed at 6’4 on everything came in at 6’1

@@ezypeazyy yeah 6’5 without shoes.

@@E2you 6‘5.5“ actually. That‘s about 6‘7“ in shoes

He’s 6”5.5 in socks so he’s 6”7 in shoes

Nope, it was a mistake and those were Devin Carters measurements. NBA had to retract all the combine data because they screwed up when uploading it today. Castle's unofficial was reported at 6'4.5" and 6'9" wingspan. I've seen him in person up close and am 6'3" and he was clearly taller than me. I had guessed 6'5" when I saw him in person and this confirms that.

you can clearly see hes not 6'2 by watching the video

It was a typo. That’s Devin Carter’s measurements

@@PickpocketJonesyup 6”5.5 in socks so 6”7 in shoes

Nobody guards elite PG well. That's why they're elite. Watch the kid slip screens, move his feet, and recover if he does get beat initially. Really good stuff
