Ulrich Chomche: The speed is there, he beat most guards. If he was a guard he would be in the 90th percentile but as a big he was the fastest. He was the fourth fastest overall. He has some hidden jets. He also has touch and defensive feel just needs real competition. I would take him at 32.

He looked pretty good in the scrimmage today. He runs the floor hard, moves well laterally, recovers to the ball, and plays with decent motor. If he's really only 18, then he's a solid prospect. He shouldn't get cooked too much out on the perimeter.

When I watch Castle, I see a guy who isn't a lead guard, who doesn't beat people off the dribble, who didn't shoot well, and who defenders are happy to back off of. The "tough, playmaking wing" archetype made famous by guys like Kawhi and Jimmy Butler is attractive, but it's rarely achieved. Odds are that he's more likely to be like Justise Winslow.

Yes, it is rare for wings to reach the level of Kawhi.

Mogbo (spelling?) looked like he could do everything but shoot. Maybe a miracle happens and he gets touch.
 
I think it could be a toss up of who ends up the better player between Castle and Carter. They will have a similar role imo. Castle has more height, but only a quarter inch on wingspan is not nearly the defensive playmaker. Carter is a lot older which is why Castle deserves to be drafted ahead, but we may have already witnessed the shooting bump that everyone seems to assume Castle will make.

Not gonna lie when I think of someone specific Danny might have his eye on my first immediate thought is Castle.

Castle is like Jaylen Brown or Justise Winslow copy physically... and they have some of the same questions coming out of college too...

The scoring numbers are a bit different but Brown was primary option for a mediocre Cal team while Castle was on a juggernaut of a roster. BTW ... their stocks are practically identical too... and dare I say... Castle's shooting indicators might actually be better than Brown's were...

If Castle develops his shot a bit, I think he’s a lot like Nembhard/Bruce Brown. Really nice player to have.

He is on an entirely different level than those guys defensively. I don't understand why you want to ignore the Dort comparison which is the correct one.
