Mentality stuff is nice, but I think it’s reflected on the court. Don’t need to read news articles about it. Remember when Scoot was said to have a legendary mentality that excused his poor play. You will probably never hear about most guys with a strong mentality.
Not saying you were implying the opposite (I wasn't clear) - but with Castle, I think the mentality stuff is clearly reflected on the court.
He seems to play the right way. Doesn't force much, plays within the team, always plays hard on both ends, doesn't seem to bitch much, never seems fazed, etc.
I don't see a lot of PG in his game yet, I think he's clearly an off-ball guard in the early stages of his career. But I'll be shocked if he's on the board at #8-9 (a legitimate "we couldn't believe he was on the board" type outcome). In this horrendous draft, he's one of the safest looking picks to be a very solid two-way player with a high floor. I also think he'll learn to shoot well enough; his mechanics aren't awful, no reason he can't get there.
