Some of my favorite parts of an interview with Stephon Castle’s trainer, @osimplis (article link in comments): “I think Jaylen Brown is phenomenal. I think the Thompson brothers are phenomenal. But I don’t think they carry Steph’s flexibility. He’s guarding one through five.. He’ll go from Shai [Gilgeous-Alexander] to Chet [Holmgren]. He’ll go from Jamal Murray to Jokić. He’ll go from [Jalen] Brunson to KAT. If you show me another guard doing that, I’ll change my tune. But I honestly think he’s the best perimeter player.” - “I don’t know what other guard in the NBA can do what he is capable of doing. Then you add his size and athleticism to it. We’re trying to keep expanding his shooting. But we’re adding some of the post-bumps that Jalen Brunson does with getting downhill, utilizing his hips and turning his drives into pullups. Once Steph incorporates that consistently, cancel Christmas. The game can become so easy for him as he matures and grows.” - “During every week of the season, he’s getting video from us both on things that he could’ve done better and on things that he’s doing well. We try to hold him to a high standard and hold that bar high. We don’t get content. The goal is chasing greatness. His Dad uses a term that I’ve latched onto when I talk to Steph: ‘We want this to be undeniable.’ If Steph becomes an All-Star, it’s undeniable. If he’s the best defender in the league, it’s undeniable. We want everything that he does to be undeniable. There aren’t any doubts. We make this undeniable. That is a term that we live by. His Dad rolled with that, and I love that, too.” #GoSpursGo #PorVida
