His efforts on defense won't go unnoticed but they won't win him the ROTY. That's simply because that award is mainly driven by offensive production, which Castle doesn't have THAT much of, yet.
@@terrible2dOh really? Because the nba posted the Rookie of the Year race leaderboard on instagram the other day and Castle was 2nd behind Jared McCain who is falling off. So Castle can most definitely win Rookie of the year if he keeps it up.
@@JSage13 Are you stupid? His season has been over by the time you typed this. He just got two back-to-back season ending injuries. A concussion and a lateral meniscus tear in his left knee.
As a Spurs fan: Thanks for making this video on Castle. It's rare for me to get this excited about a rookie that early in their career, but I absolutely love how good Stephon already is despite his game being so incredibly unpolished. The amount of potential is seemingly endless with him, let's just hope he doesn't get injured.
Spurs knocked it out of the park with this pick, I'm loving the Area 51 connection. Once Castle becomes a better shooter, which I am confident will come, dude will be an all star.
Two spurs videos in less than 24 hours. Thanks for this man. The fact that Castle is a one and done really impress me because he has the confidence and decision of a 4 year.
Stephon Castle is so lucky to be in the Spurs system as they are the best for his development, but also to be able to play with Chris Paul who is an amazing mentor for young guards
Castle is a future 18 and 9 PG while STRAPPING your PG. I picture him as a more dynamic Mike Conley. Media will never credit him, but your fave PG will never look forward to playing him.
As a Spurs fan, 3:32 is reminiscent of Kawhi's no look dive steal. That level of anticipation and bb IQ is rare, just by the position of the offensive player in conjunction to the defender and location on the court, he KNEW the only play available was to kick it to the 3. He reacted before the offensive player knew what to do. Think about that. As a rookie, man special.
Castle already has practically all the fundamentals of basketball. He just needs to improve his shooting. This will enable him to keep his team in touch with the best when they're trailing. He needs to spend 90-95% of his time practicing his shooting. Many things will become possible for the Spurs with a little luck, because winning the NBA title remains complicated.
It seems like we have new NBA talent in the league that actually see the importance of defense and I LOVE IT!!! People forget that Jordan was not only the best scorer, he was also arguably one of the best defensive players as well.
Stephon carries himself like one of these Jrue Holiday type of players, doesn’t say much but is an absolute MENACE on the court. That in and out dribble drive two handed slam vs the Jazz was insane
Castle looks like Clyde, Walt Frasier with the quick hands the passing behind the back moves court presence composure, and he never changes the expression on his face.
And the Spurs are rewarding that potential and talent. He currently has the Spurs 2nd highest usage rate. Something that the Spurs do not usually give to a rookie. Go Castle Go!
I was seriously waiting for someone to say this . This is a typical example of a guy that might not be the most talented but he tries arguably the hardest , definitely one of the future players to watch when our era ( very sadly ) retires . I really hope players like Brandon Miller , Lamelo Ball , Dyson Daniels dont get influenced by stupid people and really polish themselves to being future all stars.
If Castle would catch even half the foul calls he deserves, he would average 15-16 points rather easily. Man gets assaulted on drives, but zero respect from refs yet. I expect 2nd half of the season he'll get more calls. Right now it's an outright atrocity.
Jaylen Wells has been the best rookie this entire season undoubtedly. Undoubtedly the best rookie defender of this class whilst being the 2nd best offensively behind Mcain.
Castle floor is jrue. Which is extremely good already. I'm seeing shades of shai change of pace game already. His efficiency will determine his ceiling. A jrue in defense and shai or Jimmy on offense. Damn.
I think realistically next year we are making playoffs. It takes a year or two of losing earlier rounds to build the pedigree to win the chip. Look at Boston's ascent over the past 3-4 years, or right now what OKC is doing. We'll have to suffer through the same growth through very tough playoff losses first.
I am so glad you made this video. Non Spurs fans (and casual Spurs fans) do not understand how versatile Castle is. He has the potential to be ROY.

Castle has been fun to watch this season. He has so many intangibles that put the Spurs in winning situations.
gotta love that a rookie is taking pride in being a good defender getting rarer and rarer with everyone wanting to score.
Great video!! Castle has been so fun to watch his rookie year and super humble and eager to learn. He's built to be a spur!

Dude, you have a great taste regarding basketball players, didn't watch much Spurs this season, but it's about to change. Cheers Brate.
Thank you man!

Cannot believe he fell to fourth. No other player in his draft had a clearer path to stardom
Him and Kinect were the most nba ready prospects
To me he is the defensive version of Ja Morant.
Castle has been playing great so far and is a good defender, he has a lot of potential
Steph castle is a hooper. That’s what we needed on our team. Just a straight up hooper

Jared getting a meniscus tear puts Stephon in the prime position to win ROTY🤞🏾

stephon castle is one of the best defenders
Love Castle is getting the love he deserves. I absolutely love watching this Spurs team.
I got Wemby Castle over the bill Russell and kc Jones defensive combo and I’m 73 and I saw them play dozens of times
With McCain out, he will be ROTY. Making the Spurs the first team since like the 60s to have two ROTY twice in a row
Wiggins and KAT did it for Twolves 2015-2016
Stephon carries himself like one of these Jrue Holiday type of players, doesn’t say much but is an absolute MENACE on the court. That in and out dribble drive two handed slam vs the Jazz was insane
GSG!!! i have loved watching castle slot right into the rotation as a contributor day 1. AREA 51 BABY
That's our vet rookie!
As usual, high-quality work.

With McCain hurt, he'll be the ROTY. Very good timming for a video about Castle.

Great video 🔥🙌🏾🖖🏽
A guard version of Kawhi.
And people say this rookie class was weak. I think there’s a lot of hidden gems
I'm a simple man. I see a Stephon Castle video, I click it.
He signed with Jordan brand for endorsement. I think those Marketing Executives know that he is going to be very good at marketable in the future
HOW DOES AN AUSTRALIAN GET INTO DETROIT BASKETBALL PLEASE TELL ME
Thanks detroit guy for this content for our mini kawhi, hopefully not a diva next superstar
Please do a video on rj Barrett

Uhhh no
@ uhhh yea
The spurs have been searching for the #2 guy next to wemby. Now they finally drafted him
Yea we created the big 3! We created Khawid the claw! Now it's area 51 era!!!!!🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤❤
you know ball. you deserve all the love these other lame non ball watchers get on this platform.
Castle floor is jrue. Which is extremely good already.
I'm seeing shades of shai change of pace game already. His efficiency will determine his ceiling. A jrue in defense and shai or Jimmy on offense. Damn.
Area 51 gonna be hard to stop and great vid
This is Vic's Manu
First time seeing him play i didn't figure he was a rookie
The greatest PG in NBA History is Magic Johnson. Steph curry isn't a pure PG, he's a SG.
Thx, I was wondering who he is when looking at Wemby-clips 👍😅!
You meant the 2nd best PG ever.
we got derrick white II before gta6
Go Spurs Go!!!
Area 51 bby
nice video
i need a really big thumbs up to smash in
Please stop with the “Steph Curry is the greatest PG in NBA history…” it’s easily Magic by a country mile
The spurs are coming back. Next year we'll be championship contenders
No
They're still missing a bench and star SF. Only Champaignie is worth keeping.
