The Spurs just became one of my fav teams. UConn Nation Baby!!!!
Tnx UConn for Castle
I’m from CT and attended UCONN … I live in San Antonio (get me those tickets)!!!
Get ready for the next dynasty ❤
Start repping before the spurs become great again and so they won't call you a bandwagon
Wemby and Castle future great duo!
Vassell exists
Spurs might make it to the playoffs this year that was a big pick for them🔥🔥🔥
@@JustAHaterDealWithitwoah there buddy 😂 grizzlies coming back
@@unclesam6972💀
Let's hope so
Wemby, Castle, Sochan, Vassell... Thats a solid defensive lineup right there.
@Goo_FYLoC they already have a defensive sf in Sidy Cissoko; but it doesn't hurt to add depth though.
@@jermialspain2761You try adding Sidy to that lineup good luck spacing the floor.
Missing a sniper
Absolutely. They're going to eventually be menacing on defense
Add Trae young to that, Spurs would be a championship contender
Getting a guy from a national championship team is always good
Especially for teams like Spurs who always have that winning culture although they have been tanking to get Wemby.
Great pick. He will be our Jrue Holiday for sure. Has the Spurs mentality. I can’t nothing but success with him in our Spurs. GSG !!!
Best thing about playing with the spurs is that they are known for developing players the right way
he's a good fit for the spurs. best of luck
So this is the kid who's gonna pass the ball to Wembanyama
That's what i'm excited about
E ajuda sochan no perímetro
This is the start of a new era in basketball 🏀.
Wemby, Sochan, Vassell, and Castle gonna be fun to watch next season
Uconn since I was a kid and a die hard spurs fan I'm going crazy rest of the week
People don’t realize how much we needed someone at the PG position with some size that can defend it’s definitely going to improve our defense
The fit gave it away
Dillingham wore silver and black too 😭
aura
W pick , he has elite defense and good size which they were missing last year . Wemby got the paint , Castle got the perimeter .
Spurs finna takeover the league
Stup whiteboi
Some day yeah not sure about this season tho but I think they may be most improved team
Maybe in a few years, but we literally have a bottom-3 roster in the league right now lol.
Next years draft they are loaded with draft picks. Could have 3 top 10 picks in the loaded 2025 draft class. Spurs are doing great.
Spurs are like a crouching tiger. They build their team quietly and hoard draft picks and then they start a dynasty
Great foundational defense. It's hard to teach that to kids.
Spurs traded Dilly to MIN, I tried telling you clowns, hes too small, Spurs made the right choice with Castle.
Whatttt what did we even get back from the wolves
Clowns?is Castle a good shooter?is he a next kobe or mj?
@@ChristopherStoudt-g3q 27th pick 2030 unprotected 1st 2031 top-1 protected swap
all that for jakob poetl. if we looked back kawhi trade, a huge win also the spurs we got keldon kohson, blake wesley above picks
@@hoesnyhamid7356 I’m done the spurs stupid
Is Gorgui Dieng in the front office lol? Good for him.
No I am
Welcome to the Spurs! Please do well on your outside shooting and also playmaking. Wemby needs help.
I feel this kid will go big❤❤
For anyone who needs clarification of who castle is.. he’s like Cade cunningham but better defensively
We are all going to look back at this moment and realize why Brian had the biggest smile on his face when we drafted Castle. This was the steal of the draft. I truly believe this was the only guy the Spurs wanted. I don't care if he wins ROTY, Castle will have a bigger impact than that. The Spurs have never had a PG with those physical attributes and that basketball IQ. The future is super bright.
Future perennial All-Star/All-Defensive player and will be the future point guard to the Spurs dynasty... I'll be back to this comment when they win their first title.
Castle isn’t really a point guard, more like a 2/3 who can get to the rim and make the right passes. He’s great besides his shooting but his shot looks good fundamentally, just needs to get more consistent with hitting 3s
@@invisobill2125 IMO he can be a pg and Tre Jones be the backup (which is a great backup when that happens) plus he was in a position at UConn where he was not thriving his skills and still won a championship... but maybe they put him at sf for a lil till he gets used to the NBA then be the franchise pg or they are straight up putting him at pg.
Bet
go spurs
Wemby needs a Castle and he got it!!!!
Good pick, potentially the best pick
Why it makes me emotional seeing these dude’s dreams come true?
Stop lying. U just want free chicken from him
Welcome to the Spurs!
We got the two best guards in the 2024 draft! Go Spurs go! Dillingham, Castle, Vassel, Sochan, Wemby! Awesome!!
Perfect fit 💯
Lfgg go spurs!!
Tactical pick by the Spurs. Will be a very scary team in due time.
My only issue I have with him is that he did not look pleased to be drafted by the Spurs. His face shows displeasure. I hope he's not another Kawhi and up leaving in 5 years.
Soak it in bro !. Future Champ You Hear .
Give thanks to the lord for he is good.
best defense in this draft
Kobe n Shaq!
Go Spurs Go
The hat is sick 🔥
Great pick! Also I need that spurs hat!
Don't know much about him but can't be worse than having Sochan or Tre Jones run the point.
😂
Put some respect on Tre's name. We were actually a competent basketball team when he played with Wemby
@@sepharon755put some respect on sochan too. Once he got back to power foward he played very very well.
@@olivergossling3511 Of course. I was just talking about playing the point specifically
@@sepharon755 oh okay, I got a little confused and thought u we’re implying that sochan isn’t it. He’s one of my favs fs!!
The Spurs is longing for a tall pg in Jeremy Sochan who can do defence, and PG Stephon Castle 6'6" ht with 6'9" wingspan seems to fit💯
They got another potential Kawahi with point guard skills. Scary...
Clingan is HUGE dude
that's devin vasell!!
😂😂😂 I'm thinking the same
Twinnin backcourt 😂
2:06 HECK YEAH!!!!
The Spurs are playing chess because our new rook is a Castle #GoSpursGo
It's time to win now for silver and black. gospUrsgo....
And my Spurs got all that money and cap space ND more first and second round picks..we in there like swim wear
I feel good about this guy. He has great size and plays elite d. Wemby will love this guy. truly special player. his offense is ok but can get better but overall the spurs did great.
Go Spurs Go!
Bru knows the spurs was one of the best spots to land (Wemby Affect) GO SPURS GO!
What did the guy say to Stephon at 1:34?
Congrats big dawg
@@CHRISJESSICA-zk6lc thanks! I was trying to figure out for so long lmao
He doesn't look very happy. I hope he is just taking it all in or something.
if the spurs managed to get Nolan Traore next year, Im gonna lose my shi...
whats his skillset?
Still worried about their point guard. Hope they get one better soon.
Stephon is their PG. elite d and passer. his offense will catch up. He’s really the best player on the draft
GoSpursGo! Welcome to the Silver and Black Castle. In 3 to 4 years we want that 6th chip! Let’s get it!
Buckle up, yall. San Antonio is coming back for some nasty.
gorgui dieng is now on spurs front office
All the big San Antonio women cheering roght now 🎉
Far Rockaway ❤
2nd unit of spurs is kind of weak need another big pg,shooting foward& power foward for defense & rebounding
should have taken rob
Well they just did 😂
@@MakMaddyjust saw, so glad they made it happen fr
@@und3rworldmedia_ and he’s traded
@@und3rworldmedia_Rob got traded to wolves for future picks
@@louiebedlamall of that transpired so quickly lol
MY COUSIN GOT DRAFTED RAHHHHHH
ROY...........
Here before the Rookie of the Year win.
Here before Area 51 took off.
Spurs winning here
Wemby's Castle
Traded for a pick in 2030 and 2031? Huh? This a joke? Waiting five years?
Yes. Why not. You do realize Wemby is only going to be 26 right?? spurs are smart for doing that. They keep the fresh water flowing
He doesn't look happy Spurs pick him
Dude you don't think it's a coincidence he was wearing silver and black???
He was holding back tears
Still not sure about the #8 trade..i hope they got real assets for next year...not just some future future picks..
They got 2030 unprotected 1st and a 2031 unprotected 1st from Minnesotta. That is a lot to give for Dillingham.
Dilligham has no future in the NBA, he will be hunted relentlessly, entire offenses will go thru him.
Looks like the Spurs are accumulating picks for a big trade probably next year ! I do believe that they are doing great, will see
@@R-no59b i think dilly would be a really good player( i like him better than sheppard) for min and us. but for the return min gave us even if risacher was there, i wou;d trade th8th pick
SPURS!
lets gooooo🫡
He not yet a reliable shooter
Spurs need to get back to how they won championships by playing good bear hug defense
I think he's small and won't do as good in the adult league
He’s not small…. He’s like 6’6 and can guard almost any position. If he can hit 3s with some consistency he’ll be a good player.
They’re gonna regret not keeping Dillingham. Give it 3 years. Just my opinion.
yup
Nah. He can't shoot. Everyone in nba is athletic and long too. He have Avg athleticism. Spurs should've move up and grab Sheppard.
No shooter, saw his form
Fast forward 4 months this comment has not aged well
This draft was a joke!
I am not feeling this
Dosent seem to happy
He's so unhappy he's wearing silver and black????
He's holding back tears
Who
Weak pick shoulda got dalton
First
Not beating the lakers
Have fun drafting 4ppg bronny lmao
@@vandpgaming2103 we chilling he’s the next big thing
@@ChiefsLakersYankeesandKnightslyeah right 😂🤣😂🤣😂

Cares
Great pick by the Spurs
