My brother you are the one who compared him to Penny Hardaway which is just as outlandish.Give him a couple years to develop. And no, he's not Scottie Pippen. Only Cy threw out that comp while he was wildly vacillating over who he likes.

Furphy vs Williams. (per 40)
The funniest thing about Cody Williams to me is that he's billed as a point forward (even a PG by Givony!) yet he only averaeged 2.2 APG on a pretty offensively talented Colorado team (he was 6th in APG on the team).
I always enjoy listening to a mock draft where people are able to explain their reasoning well even if I may not agree with all their choices. I thought the reasoning for Castle was sound and I’m completely on board with that pick. I’d also be happy if we’d try to move up a few spots to get him. Of course there are some concerns, mostly about his shooting, but there’s no prospect this year that doesn’t come with caveats. Vecenie wasn’t even too concerned about the shooting. Castle is just a type of player I like, so maybe I’m rating him too highly because of that, but he’s my nr. 1 guy for our pick right now.Vecenie did a youtube mockdraft with his co-host and he says he likes Castle better than Cody Williams. Picked Castle for the Jazz over Cody and I agree 100%.
To expound on this a little bit, I always tend to favor guys that go hard on defense. It should be a basic skill, but these days it no longer seems to be. Players who do have it tend to bring more than just defense, they bring intangibles and an attitude that can help a team in more ways than one. And defense is a bankable skill not susceptible to hot streaks or slumps.I always enjoy listening to a mock draft where people are able to explain their reasoning well even if I may not agree with all their choices.

It is so dumb that it legit gets me more intrigued with Matas. WWE style trash talking is apparently a bonus for me.Buzelis just challenged Risacher to a 1v1 workout in the pre-draft process.

He’s two years away from being two years away.I would have been talking about his role playing as a big, athletic, on-ball guard, not as a guy who was going to be a top MVP candidate at the height of his career. I think he has some All Star potential, but he' at least a couple years away from it.
On a positive note, he's consistently finding the front of the rim.

been watching a lot of Castle videos today and anyone else notice he is what I would call a heavy jumper. Not explosive but he has some advanced moves inside. His jumper is OK-looking and could get better but I agree he does seem to try on defense. He is gaining some favor for the Jazz pick from me.
I think his playing on a loaded UConn team with plenty of upperclassmen helps.
Not a bad plan. Would be crazy to have 4 picks in the draft. I guess it would be #9 and #28 or #31 for #14 and #23.Inside the top 10, Castle is probably the guy I don't want. However, this in and of itself seems to increase the likelihood that the Jazz will draft him.
If I were the Jazz and all my targets were gone by #9, I might try to trade back with New Orleans for #14 and #23. I'd be looking for Chomche (watch him rise), Filipowski or Tyler Smith at #14, then BPA at #23. It's possible that Collier, Castle or Knecht would also be there at #14.
