    Let's hope Castle is literally just Killian Hayes

    Castle could be super annoying with the Spurs,

    No point for SA to pick another 7 footer. Glad to screw the Spurs.

    TIL averaging 35 a game on 60% TS isn't good enough to play SG.

    JMO...don't think he'll be a longtime bench player

    Don't think of positions so rigidly. He doesn't ever have to guard SGs or guys who are going to use their size advantage over him.

    This is where having an Amen Thompson helps a lot. Amen can fit in play PG and on defense guard whoever 1-3.

    A lot will depend on what we do with Jalen. I can't see them sharing the court much--not enough size/strength/defense. If we trade Jalen or let him walk in RFA there's a clear route for Reed to start alongside Amen and the two of them kind of share ballhandling duties. If we extend Jalen and keep him around I think Sheppard is a bench guy for a long time.

    Spurs blew it. Imagine that big stiff idiot Cunning kid at 5 with Wemby at 4. They would the new Timberwolves.

    Is Sheppard a point guard? He's listed everywhere as shooting guard. At least from what I've seen. Maybe I'm wrong. I'm a lot more optimistic if he is a point guard.

    Perhaps but it wasn’t because he was too small to play SG.

    Clinsmann is sweating out there. Stressing hard. Was expecting to go top 3.
