NBA Thread 2026
Castle is young. But there's no way he should not have been expecting that pass. You could argue that other players might not. But a point guard should always be expecting the ball in the back court.
For as great as Brunson is playing, just think how much greater he could have been if he had played his college ball at the Orange & Blue.
(I shake my fist generally in the direction of the College of Charleston.)
I’m pretty sure the only reason Illinois was even an option was that his then girlfriend and now wife was going to go to Illinois.
Don’t think his Dad was gonna let him go to IL tho. He was set on him playing in Philly like he did only with Villanova instead of Temple. I listen to The Starting Lineup on Sirius and Brian Scalabrine tells a story that when Scal was with the Bulls, Jalen Brunson used to play pickup with him while he was in HS. And Scal said his dad (who was Asst Coach with Bulls) rode him harder than any dad he’s ever seen. Said it was brutal how hard he was on him. So I think Rick basically wasn’t gonna let Jalen go to IL even if he wanted to
