Stephon Castle

It surely would have hurt his draft stock if those were his numbers. Anyone have a link to his actual numbers yet?

6'5.5" without shoes (which puts him near 6'7" in shoes), 6'9" ws, 210 lbs. Excellent size for a combo guard.

Similar measurements to Jaime Jaquez, Cam Whitmore, Klay Thompson, Grant Williams, DeMar DeRozan, Miles Bridges, Devin Vassell.

Plenty of guys who have played a lot of forward.

That is a good size for him. I didn't anticipate he would be as big as that honestly. I was expecting a little smaller. More like Okoro.

If Spurs get Castle they will turn him into the best player in this draft

That Spurs organization is no more.

UConn person here so i am bias but…

Kid is as stud. Shooting needs to get better, but his passing, vision and finishing ability are elite.

He is defensively ready to play in NBA. Reminds of maybe a more explosive Jrue Holiday. That’s how he is going to play. I don’t think he is a superstar level player, but I think he could make a couple of all-star teams if he progresses and gets into right situation.

Just in case you are wondering….absolutely love big man as an nba player,

Grizz mgmt dream target I’m sure.

I honestly would be looking at him if I were the Hawks at #1.

I think he needs to go to SA with Clingan perhaps headed to the Rockets, who as a team have had
lots of bigs in their team history.

As an ORL fan, I was hoping to see them trade out of the draft in a package for a vet like Simons or Murray....the more I look at Castle, I now hope ORL aggressively trades up in the draft for him. Fierce, big, physical defender who can play "enough" PG to complement Paolo & Franz (in a few years). He doesn't directly address ORL's shooting needs, but he can improve and ORL can address that in FA market or trades.

He makes me think of Dejounte Murray or, even...a fully functional, bigger Markelle Fultz with Jimmy Butler's attitude. He and Suggs, along with Anthony Black, would be a ferocious POA defensive trio...ORL can add a Monk or Simons to goose the offense. Fultz just won't even try to shoot, ORL just needs enough of a backcourt threat at Lead Guard to open things up for the big forwards.

Mocks this year are all over the place...not even sure how high they'd have to move and what it would take.

The argument 'he was a #1 option in HS' is not very convincing when he was taking 11+ 3ptfga shooting barely 30%. Who is giving him that type of green light?
