    this isn't even the argument. I don't care about Jalen Green. It takes 5 seconds to look at my post history to see I was on the trade Jalen bandwagon his last year here. The argument is Stephon and Reed. Anyone who thinks Reed is a better player than Castle is just dealing with cope and can't accept the fact that Stone missed on yet another lotto pick. His "follow whatever Givony tells me to do on the mock draft" has succesfully netted him Amen and failed him every other pick.

    All good debates the two you are focusing on!

    I’m in on this one only so I can crush them smug and stupid Spurs fans before I get old.

    Sure but Jalen would also average 40 if Reed was on the court. No one in the league has defended Jalen as good as Castle has. It's almost like people forgot that Reed was hunted EVERY single possession. Wemby would def help but Castle would def help Sengun too. Sengun wouldn't throw his hands up every time Reed gets blown by and he has to cosplay as Dikembe.

    Reed Sheppard could never

    I’m sick

    he’s also the primary defender for guys like Shai and Brunson and doing a damn good job…you could never put Reed on players like that, it would be child abuse and that matchup would have to get blurred and censored on the broadcast

    He's the next Steph. His shot is so good he doesn't have to worry about defense.
