Castle is a 4.5 star prospect right out of the gate which is scary. If he gets a boost, he’ll be one of the best players in CSL it seems. We don’t know potentials beyond scouting yet but 4.5 stars is something.

I’m pretty happy with Jemison and hoping for a massive Clarke development

Yeah, castle looks legit. The only one I really like in this class so far.

Our pickup in Olivari looks rock solid, especially for a 47th pick. He may have a spot here for the next seasons.

I do like Sharpe as well. I think he’ll be terrific as a scorer, should have a nice floor even if he doesn’t develop that much.

Only 2 guys from this whole draft class that are over 3 stars so far. Brutal.

Happy with Castle's potentials but he is a little less 'ready' than I thought he would be. Still excited though!

Castleton should also be able to handle some minutes this year with okay rebounding and defense.

This class is really boost dependent. Players like Clarke, Walker or Ware with a boost might become the top player in the class lol
This TC is going to be absurdly important to evaluate the class. Everyone is absurdly raw right now and we can’t see potentials yet

Dowtin does not look like a CSL level PG with very low Handling. Perhaps he can be tried at SG though not sure I need another wing. But at least he is friends with multiple other players which I assume helps us somehow

Right, forgot about him. He looks like promised and should be really good scorer.

Very interested to see how Yuki plays in Sacramento. Also the game loves the potential of the big man in Milwaukee.

Whitmore looks solid though I do think castle has better long term potential, but I agree with what some others have said in that the boosts will be what probably ends up defining the class as a several players could be very good to great with boosts.

Whitmore looks decent but I think Tim will regret not taking Castle as he looks all the bit of the best player in this class.

I'm actually really happy with our draft. Yuki looks absolutely great to the point that he could start over Daniels. Good scoring, great passing, elite handles, elite steals, discipline and IQ. Don't care about rebounding or blocking as he'll never go into the paint but will be interesting to see how 40 defense and 90 steals translate. Very happy with him and looking forward to mixing his 90 steal rating with Daniels (72), Thybulle (81) and Johnson (83) in the backcourt.

Really liking Wells too because I know he has such an elite mid range game but he already has solid enough defense and stealing for me to play him as a rookie I think.

and Filipowski came as advertised. I know he has a good inside game but 73 and 60 rebounding is good for right now. Develop some blocking a little more (I know the potential is in the 50's somewhere), and he's going to be a solid young big.

If Wesson develops and gets a boost we could have found a gem in the late second round.

Yuki looks awesome. He could very well be ROTY if you play him. His ratings look pretty funny where everything is 90/80/40/30 lol

I'm not worried. The 4.5 rating is due to spread of ratings and the scoring rating being just high enough not to be nerfed at 3 stars. Whitmore is still the best fit for us, especially with Reddish going back to Houston.
