Boozer and Edey Appreciator

I would like to formally apologize for placing Reed Sheppard above Stephon Castle on my big board. As a 6 foot, 180 pound white man, I desperately wanted to believe that a 6'2, 180 pound white man with a 5% steal rate, a 52% three point percentage, and a 42 inch vertical was worthy of a top 5 pick. I saw the spreadsheet. I saw the shooting. I saw myself. In my dreams. Meanwhile, Stephon Castle was standing right there: 6'5.5 barefoot, built like Adonis, and very obviously a two-way hooper. I thought the jumper mattered. I thought the mediocre steal and block rates put a ceiling on his defense. They did not. I failed to ask the simplest question in basketball: Roll the ball out. Have them play 1-on-1. Who is coming out on top? It's Castle. Last night he had a triple double in the Western Conference Finals. 17 points, 11 assists, and 11 turnovers. But really, the highlight was him guarding SGA. He's bigger, stronger, and faster than SGA. The MVP can't get where he wants on the court when Castle is out there guarding him. I will improve going forward. Sincerely, draftballr

Nah, Michigan really had the Monstars. They were supposed to win 🤣 - Center was legit 7’4 - PF was 6’10, 250 with a 7’4 wingspan & freak athleticism - SF was 6’9, 240 w/ 7’3 wingspan as a 3-level scorer
