His defence looks very promising. Obviously the issue will be if his shot is respected and if he doesn't spread the floor can he stay on the floor?
For the record, B Wright does not get ANY credit for drafting Castle. That was a no brainer given picks 1 through 3 according to 90% of mocks and nearly 100% of every casual fan’s desire given 1 -3.
That foo needs to be given his pink slip.

spurstalk posters who doubted timvp had sources heres what he said prior to draft..........
4. Stephon Castle
The silence surrounding Castle is unsettling. Ever since he worked out for the Spurs, no source has been willing to go on record to even hint at how he played. he did so well that the franchise wants him to fall to No. 4 and ins uted a gag order
Imagine the anti-spacing vortex as Castle and Sochan share the court with Wemby, it will be like an astronomical spectacle as entire defenses swarm around Wemby like his own accretion disk.
Who needs shooting or good point guard play? Time to give Zollins another extension.
Wembanyama sounded super excited talking to Castle on the Phone after the pick! Can’t help but think he knew exactly what the spurs would do at 4 and signed off on it.
On par with their type, high level college role players with creation upside. No idea how it is going to work on offense, coaching staff got a lot of work to do.
I'm gonna cheer for him as loudly as humanly possible while making my point clear for posterity I think it was a poor choice. Yes he's super talented and an upgrade in many ways but damn, his drives in the NBA just won't have the same impact as they did in college when people sag on him
People love to complain…And to hear themselves talk.
Listening to his interview on NBA TV, I love his confidence
Read this about his shooting in pre-draft workouts.
Grade: A
Castle was one the best defending guards in college hoops during his one year at UConn and showed a much improved 3-point shot during the pre-draft process. He has upside as an elite two-way player in the NBA and can help anchor the defense alongside Victor Wembanyama.
maybe we could trade him for a 2057 FRP and a 2069 swap.
I think he is a good pickup
Grade C for SA picking Castle
Lead UConn in scoring in the Final Four. So even not as a big deep threat he was still hugely productive.
Saw on TikTok Wemby FaceTimed Castle. Starts with “It’s Victor”. I’m sure Wemby knows Castle knows who he is, but it’s still something when your franchise player introduces himself to rookies. Reminds me of all the Tom Brady stories where his teammates first met him during their rookie season say he always introduces himself with “ Hi, I’m Tom”, like they didn’t already know who he was.
Narrator: His shot won't be respected.
Damn can’t believe they actually drafted my guy! Wemby got his #2 already!
Pick is alright given who was available but getting tired of "let's see if we can fix his shot" players.
I wonder if drafting Castle opens up an avenue to put Keldon back in the starting lineup and resurrect his value.
Wemby - Collins
Sochan - Cissoko
Keldon - Champ
Vassell - Branham
Castle - Tre - Wesley
going from Hurley to Pop
Castle is not afraid to WORK
a Castle+Vassell back court means, that there needs to be more shooting from the forward spots. none of the current players will provide this. Tobias Harris would make even more sense in this situation.
we're back to having an elite rim protector and perimeter defender. That has always been our M.O. when we won chips. Get this kid to work on his shot ASAP. He's one of the most polished players in this draft, which is why I wanted us to draft him, but a lot will depend on him developing a jump shot.
Sure he does. He didn’t draft a Primo type reach this time.
