Neither does Sheppard because they can't play him with FVV because they're both 6 feet tall.  Castle has an NBA body and can play and guard multiple positions.  

If you're going to commit big money to FVV, fine but I don't recommend, then you can't draft another undersized point guard.

In a redraft, no one would take Sheppard over Castle.

Never implied so. I just think Castle wouldn’t have changed the win total on the season. 
 

Spurs were a much better fit for him to get mins on a bad team instead of ridding the bench or playing in the G League.

I think chickensandwich and aqua can both be right here. If Castle could shoot, the pick is a no brainer. 
 

Reed measured 6’1.75” at the combine. I think the plan was for Reed to eventually replace FVV, not necessarily play them together. 
 

I do think either would struggle to make the rotation. That’s not to say the Rockets are so good/deep that couldn’t use a ROY contender. Ime low key hates rookies. Also Holiday is technically the back up PG, and he barely plays as the 9th and final rotational player. They’re a very forward heavy team.

am i missing something? who's houstons back up PG? Why couldnt FVV be a bridge PG to Castle? 

The original point trying to be made was that Houston would be way better THIS season with Castle instead of Reed. Any Rockets fan will tell you it doesn't do much for them. As far as the PG in waiting goes, either guy could have been that too.  

Now if you want to talk future prospects in 3+ years, yeah Castle might be better. Reed just isn't getting the minutes needed to really show his capabilities and make a dent in the roster because the top 8 guys are very well set on the Rockets. The Spurs have a lot more minutes for rookies to get experience and put up stats. If Reed was on that team, he would probably be in the RoY conversation too, just given the minutes available and his ability to hit 3s.

Yes. He is a great young player but cant shoot and we have better defenders. Speaking this year only he doesn’t move the needle for Houston 

Why are you comparing him to Cam Whitmore? Castle is nothing like that dude. And no Whitmore would not put up 20 ppg on the Spurs. Gtfoh. 

Castle is a combo guard that can play on-ball or off-ball and is putting up 18/5/5 post-ASB as a rookie. He needs to work on his shooting but he isn't incapable from 3 - just inefficient.

Dude is the fucking truth and you'd have to twist my arm for me to take anyone on HOU's roster but Amen over him going forward.
