Honestly, getting Shai to shit talk during the last game felt like a sign of respect lol
He’s locked down Luka in two games and Devin Booker as well. Curry’s been the dude with the most success against him and it was more due to the drop coverage and off ball action that got him.
Is that SGA’s shooting % or is that the success rate of the defender?
They call him Castle cause he is a wall on defense
Damn… I knew wiggins was a good defender but less than 30% shooting from sga? It’s better than I thought shoutout to wiggs.
Other than that, W castle.
Toumani locked up SGA the first match up this year and he’s been absolutely frying him ever since lol. You can tell it’s personal for SGA, he’s talks mad shit after every bucket.
Just noticed Julian on the list lmao
The impressive thing here is that we’ve played them four times already…. Which is a lot. So Castle probably had a lot more volume than the others and still has this level of effectiveness.
stephon castle is a defensive star ngl
Put some respect Luke Daddy Kornet
Poor Luke getting absolutely mauled out there because of the drop defense he plays. 🙁
It makes sense on two levels:
1) Wembanyama in the paint makes it much easier to play the shot and just ignore the drive. If you don’t really care about him getting to the rim, it makes defending much easier.
2) Castle can make some silly young player fouls, but he is really good at staying put. Sometimes it’s irritating because he doesn’t get nearly as many blocks/steals as he could. But that makes him better against guys like Luka/SGA who want to use your aggression to beat you (or draw fouls).

No wonder Shai got emotional for once around him.
