Spurs draft a guy who can't shoot at 4 to combine with Wemby because ... raisins. And the obvious need to help Wemby on defence. Perplexing, Capn'O

Getting a point of attack defender to go with potentially the best defensive player ever is going to be something difficult to deal with.

Stephon Castle's stats don't really jump out. 3-ball percentage is a little weak

At 6-6 and being a winner at UConn, are they hoping he develops into an elite 3&D guy?

All this BS being said about all the draftees. As we know, these analysts don't know anything, and it's a crap shoot who actually becomes a good player and who become the next Ryan Arcidiaconno.

He shoots worse than Frank (at draft), defends worse than Frank (at draft) and creates less than Frank (at draft). But, ok, I concede the point. But perhaps the Spurs should just have offered Frank the vet min.

Ron Holland with Ausur Thompson sure is interesting...I guess the Pistons don't want any shooters to play with Cade.

I don’t think Ron Holland is that good at all. This is a bust potential pick.

Holland shoots less than 27% from the three on almost 4 attempts per game

Do they feel he can develop his three?

Maybe he can't switch those 4 attempts to mid-distance 2pters at 35%?

would be very surprised if there ends up being more than a couple decent players that come out of this draft, its pretty terrible
