Still looks better than Harper's low arch, janky release.. If i have to bet right now, i think Castle will be the better shooter of the two and he's already money with his FTs and 3 FGA in the clutch, which is a good sign.
I think us blowing that lead and losing in the end left a sour taste in everyone's mouth
But yeah, he was pretty spectacular last night.I had the game on on my second monitor so I wasn't watching every play closely at all. Did Castle spend a lot of time guarding Murray? Anyone watch closely who he guarded throughout the game? Mitch putting him on bigger guys has got to stop.
Good luck trying to guard one of the best scorers in the league that's constantly running PNR with Jokic and you're mostly playing small, without any rim protection.
He played a really awesome game and I wish it would have been a win so it would be talked about more. I am not going to use a specific phrase about his 3 point shooting but I will just say he is shooting it with confidence and it is looking good. Has cut down on turnovers for the most part but still makes a few lazy ones from time to time.
i see what you did there
Where do you see that Fox has been handling the ball more? I went here and plugged in dates from beginning of the season to first of this year and first of this year to today and usages look like Fox is handling it less than before.
As has been discussed at length at ST and here, USG doesn't measure time on ball - it only measures how frequently a player finishes a play with a FGA, FTA or TOV.Where do you see that Fox has been handling the ball more?

I was genuinely curious what you were using…. I’ll dig into these numbers, thanks.
When I made the statement, I was just using the eye test. It's been standing out to me that we're getting faster passes, less ISO and that time on ball had shifted away from Castle a bit.
..Castle will be All-star in '26-'27 and second best payer on the team. Calling it now
I don't want to navigate the ST wasteland in it's current state, but people kept laughing at me when I said his ceiling is somewhere between Jrue and Jimmy.We really selected a Jimmy Butler 2.0 with better playmaking and without the baggage in the worst draft in 20 years
Just look back at the draft thread when people wanted Reed Sheppard or worse though Dillingham would be better than Castle lolWe really selected a Jimmy Butler 2.0 with better playmaking and without the baggage in the worst draft in 20 years
Dare I say with this current Steph, Jrue as a floor is gonna be disappointing.
