Castle on his mentality for taking on each team’s best offensive player each night: “It’s probably the funnest part of the game for me. Just growing up watching all these guys and getting put on that primary matchup is definitely a blessing. I look forward to all these matchups and all these games.”

    **General overview of everything else (Castle video) for anyone who hasn’t had a chance to watch yet:**

    * Getting to spacing spots quicker to help Wemby counter double teams
    * Feeling like the team needed a night like tonight since the team was getting a little comfortable
    * Mitch trying to give the team energy and confidence
    * Thoughts on what he’s seen from Wemby’s game for the start of this season
    * Not knowing the extent of Harper’s injury
    * Feeling like the team gets opponent’s best game each night and matching that intensity
    * What happened between him and Booker
    * Needing to review the footage for his fouls

  2. I feel like Castle is already one of the leaders of the team. Him saying that the team needed a night like tonight since the team was getting a little too comfortable is spot on.

  3. This is why Castle should play as a SG and a secondary ball handler while Fox plays as the PG and Harper as PG off the bench. Much of Castle’s value is his defensive elite value. We want him on the court as much as possible, which won’t be the case at the PG position since Fox is our second best player.

  4. Is it just me or is this camera way more crisp and high fidelity than we usually see for these interviews?

  5. Suns fan here. This post showed up on my feed and I wanted to chime in. I love the way Castle plays and he’s one of my favorite young players. His mindset, energy and toughness are great and his athleticism is special. Every time I see him matched up against Book or any scoring/playmaking guard (like SGA), it always looks like a battle and it’s fun to watch. He’s a nightmare to play against with his tenacity but he doesn’t cross the line into dirty or reckless play in my view. I won’t be mad if you guys send him to Phoenix. 😉 Just kidding.
