Stephon Castle is a weird player. Obviously very talented and knows how to leverage his tools into being impactful, and NBA fans underrate the hell out of being synergetic with your stars which he absolutely is.
But I think there’s got to be some level of gauging his impact properly. The Amen Thompson comparisons for starters feel a bit laughable to me. Amen is outrageously clear on offense and probably possesses more talent on defense as well. Like just gauging his ability to play off the ball and be ultra efficient in that role and be the best defender on the Rockets like why wouldn’t I or any GM in the league think he can heighten that next to a guy like Wemby. And again I don’t want to downplay Steph’s ability to fit cause it’s great but like just seeing those two compared so frequently it’s like Amen can do that too while he’s also just better without the favorable circumstances. A bit of a ramble.
