He can dribble doe.Worst case Castle is Isaac Okoro.

Or maybe you should revisit his success given another very important data point. He was already trending top5-6 imo.If Reed Sheppard played today, hit five 3s and had 4 steals, everyone would be calling him a top-4 pick again. Gotta chill the recency bias.
I wouldGiven the chance, everyone gives up our pick and Kessler for Castle and Clingan, right?

Yeah, I do think he's better at that, but Okoro could dribble at the college level but just doesn't at the NBA because offensively he plays with ball dominant guards.He can dribble doe.
Double down lmfaoI just want to point out that compared to Stephon Castle, Ron Holland is bigger, younger, a whole level more athletic, and at least as good a defensive playmaker. Both have shooting concerns, but Holland at least played in a tougher league against bigger, more mature defenders. Castle is more reliable with the ball in his hands, but I'm not sure if teams are going to want to put the ball in his hands. Even at UConn, Castle was treated as a 4th option on offense. He got more looks today because NC State was daring him to shoot, literally backing off 8 or 10 feet. Once Castle missed a few jumpers, he started passing up looks and trying to post up instead.
Yeah cuz that would be a good performance and it's like good performances are what dictate who is good and not good.If Reed Sheppard played today, hit five 3s and had 4 steals, everyone would be calling him a top-4 pick again. Gotta chill the recency bias.
Kind of like ... Rudy...The thing that confuses my brain on Clingan is how awkward he looks for how athletic he is.
He just looks awkward AF, but he actually has impressive recovery speed? Is there some hidden athleticism when he matures into his body? He's just so uncoordinated that I don't have high hopes for his offensive game expansion and he's a worse jumper than Walker is, who is already very mediocre for a rim runner
