马刺进攻乏力，但卡斯尔在惨败中展现出实力。
在萨克拉门托度过了一个多么 eventful 的夜晚。圣安东尼奥马刺队不仅用哈里森·巴恩斯交易来了一名经验丰富的侧翼球员，还进行了他们的第一场夏季联赛比赛。马刺队的管理层不可能选择更好的时机进行交易。马刺球迷可以将注意力集中在这位闪亮的新球员（以及不受保护的首轮签互换）身上，而不是夏洛特黄蜂队对夏季联赛球队造成的30分惨败。
黄蜂队派出了一支由拥有 NBA 经验的二年级球员组成的球队。马刺队的夏季联赛阵容则充满了新秀和希望赢得一席之地的 G 联赛球员。通常在夏季联赛中，拥有更多 NBA 经验的球队会获胜——周六晚上的比赛证明了这一点。在以 65-97 输给黄蜂队的比赛中，圣安东尼奥马刺队找不到任何进攻节奏。
夏季联赛的马刺队在本场比赛中投篮命中率仅为27.8%，三分球命中率为20.7%。他们的罚球命中率只有62.5%。说这是一个糟糕的投篮之夜都算是轻描淡写。马刺队在进攻端难以创造出空位投篮的机会，即使他们创造出来了，他们也没有投进多少球。与以往不同的是，马刺队全场只有10次助攻和14次失误。
球队10次助攻中有3次来自首轮秀斯蒂芬·卡斯尔(Stephon Castle)。所有的目光都集中在这位新秀身上，因为他展现出了自己的潜力。他本场比赛得到12分、6个篮板，助攻失误比为3:1。卡斯尔4投2中，三分球12投4中。据《圣安东尼奥快报》的杰夫·麦克唐纳报道，马刺队计划让卡斯尔和西迪·西索科(Sidy Cissoko)在周日晚上对阵国王队的比赛中轮休。
观察结果:
-
在周六晚上的比赛中，卡斯尔在持球时看起来非常自在。他面对尼克·史密斯二世的压迫式防守，并能够利用自己的控球能力稳稳地控球。他非常擅长在挡拆中创造空间。他通过突破到内线并找到队友来创造进攻优势。他为马刺队的大个子球员送出了一些令人印象深刻的传球，还几次单手将球传给了底角的射手。他组织进攻的能力是他发展的重要组成部分，也是夏季联赛期间需要关注的一点。
-
卡斯尔一旦进入内线就很难得分。他积极地冲击黄蜂队的篮筐守护者，但无法在篮下完成终结。在康涅狄格大学，卡斯尔擅长突破到内线，并在篮下强势终结或在中距离投篮。他仍然需要努力成为一名更有创造力的内线终结者。很高兴看到他在职业生涯早期就表现得如此积极主动。这种积极性也体现在他愿意从远处投篮。他命中了一记logo三分球，并在挡拆中命中了一记后撤步跳投。他需要在夏季联赛中继续出手这些投篮。卡斯尔唯一的失误出现在他犹豫是否要从远处投篮的时候。即使他的三分球命中率没有达到40%，但如果他能成为一个投篮威胁，圣安东尼奥马刺队也会变得更好。
-
在防守端，卡斯尔展现出了一些让球探对他如此兴奋的特质。他灵活地绕过掩护，并在持球时紧跟着他的对手。他完成了一次抢断，最终导致对方出现失误，并在另一端完成了一次抢断和上篮。他积极拼抢进攻篮板，最终为马刺队赢得了一次得分机会。他在无球时出现了几次走神，但这对于一个正在适应 NBA 比赛的新秀来说很正常。卡斯尔需要一些时间来学习规则，然后才能成为他在大学里看起来的那种完全成熟的外线防守大闸。
-
西迪·西索科在接受膝盖手术后的第一场比赛中表现不佳。他6投1中，得到8分。他在进攻端难以找到影响比赛的方法。他仍然不是一个有威胁的外线射手，也没有找到在持球时创造进攻机会的方法。他在场上看起来仍然强壮且 athletic ，这使他成为一名有竞争力的防守者。要想成为一名 NBA 轮换球员，他的进攻端必须有所发展。
-
小贾米尔·尼尔森(Jameer Nelson Jr.)在挡拆中打出了一些漂亮的配合。他是马刺队中为数不多的几位在持球时看起来很自在的球员之一。卢卡·阿夫达洛维奇(Luke Avdalovic)替补出场，命中了两记三分球。夏季联赛的马刺队将需要他们所能得到的所有投篮机会。大卫·杜克二世(David Duke Jr.)、雷夸恩·格雷(RaiQuan Gray)和DJ·霍恩(DJ Horne)都没有参加周六的比赛。这三名球员似乎是纸面上球队的关键组成部分。也许当卡斯尔和西索科在周日的比赛中轮休时，我们会看到他们更多的表现。
-
马刺队的二轮秀哈里森·英格拉姆(Harrison Ingram)在 NBA 的第一场比赛中表现糟糕。他在失利的比赛中得到3分和7个篮板。圣安东尼奥马刺队给了他一些控球的机会，以展现出让他成为一个 intriguing 的二轮秀的多才多艺。他在持球时难以摆脱对手，也无法在远距离获得空位投篮的机会。角色球员通常很难适应 NBA 的比赛。期待英格拉姆在整个夏季联赛中找到为球队攻防两端做出贡献的方法。

What we learned from the Summer Spurs loss to the Hornets
San Antonio’s offense sputters, but Castle shows skills in a blowout loss.
What an eventful night in Sacramento. The San Antonio Spurs not only made a trade for a veteran wing in Harrison Barnes, but also played their first Summer League game. San Antonio’s front office couldn’t have timed the trade any better. Spurs fans can focus on the shiny new player (and unprotected pick swap) instead of the 30-point beat down the Charlotte Hornets put on the Summer League team.
Charlotte fielded a team full of second-year players who have NBA experience. The Spurs summer team is filled with rookies and G League players looking to earn a spot. Typically in the Summer League, teams with more NBA experience win – Saturday night proved that concept. San Antonio couldn’t find any offensive rhythm in a 97-65 loss to Charlotte.
The summer Spurs shot just 27.8% from the field and 20.7% from deep in the loss. They hit only 62.5% of their free throws. To call it a cold shooting night is an understatement. San Antonio struggled to create open looks offensively, and when they did, they didn’t knock many of them down. In atypical fashion, the Spurs only had 10 assists to go along with 14 assists.
Three of the team’s 10 assists came from first-round pick, Stephon Castle. All eyes were on the rookie as he provided glimpses of his potential. He finished the game with 12 points, 6 rebounds and a 3:1 assist-to-turnover ratio. Castle knocked down 2 of his 4 three-pointers, but shot 4 of 12 from the field. According to Jeff McDonald of the San Antonio-Express News, the Spurs plan to sit Castle and Sidy Cissoko for their Sunday night game against the Kings.
Observations:
- Castle looked extremely comfortable with the ball in his hands on Saturday night. He faced pressure defense from Nick Smith Jr. and was able to use his handle to keep the ball secure. He was excellent at creating space in the pick and roll. He created offensive advantages by getting into the paint and finding his teammates. He made some impressive feeds to the Spurs bigs and a couple of sweet one handed passes to shooters in the corners. His ability to run the point is a big part of his development, and something to track over the course of Summer League.
- Castle struggled to score once he got into the paint. He was aggressive getting into the body of Charlotte’s rim protectors, but wasn’t able to finish at the rim. At UCONN, Castle was good at getting into the paint and finishing with strength at the rim or touch in the mid-range. He still needs work on being a creative finisher in the paint. It’s good to see him be aggressive and assertive early on in his career. That aggressiveness also manifested in his willingness to shoot the ball from deep. He hit a logo three, and a pull-up jumper from deep in the pick and roll. He needs to keep taking those shots in the summer. Castle’s only turnover came when he hesitated on shooting from deep. San Antonio will be better off if he’s a threat to shoot it, even if he doesn’t shoot 40% from three.
- Defensively, Castle showed some of what got scouts so excited about him. He wizzed around screens and stuck with his man on the ball. He got a deflection that eventually led to a steal and basket on the other end. He hustled for an offensive rebound that turned into a basket for the Spurs. There were a few mental lapses off the ball, but that’s normal for a rookie adjusting to the NBA game. Castle will need some time to learn the ropes before he can become the full-fledged lock down perimeter defender he looked like in college.
- Sidy Cissoko struggled in his first game since undergoing knee surgery. He finished with 8 points on 1 of 6 shooting from the field. He struggled to find ways to impact the game offensively. He’s still not a threat to shoot from deep and hasn’t found a way to generate offense with the ball in his hands. He still looks strong and athletic out there, making him a competitive defender. The offensive end has to develop for him to become an NBA rotation player.
- Jameer Nelson Jr. had a few nice plays in the pick and roll. He was one of the few Spurs players that look comfortable operating with the ball in his hands. Luke Avdalovic came off the bench and hit a pair of threes. The summer Spurs are going to need all of the shooting they can get. David Duke Jr., RaiQuan Gray and DJ Horne all did not play on Saturday. Those three players seemed to be key components of the squad on paper. Maybe we will see more of them when Castle and Cissoko sit out Sunday’s game.
- The Spurs second-round pick, Harrison Ingram, had a rough first game of NBA action. He had 3 points and 7 rebounds in the loss. San Antonio gave him some ball-handling reps to show off the versatility that made him an intriguing second-round bet. He struggled to create separation with the ball in his hands and wasn’t able to shake free for open looks from deep. It’s usually difficult for role players to adjust to the NBA game. Look for Ingram to find ways to contribute on both ends throughout the summer.
