It hasn't taken long for former UConn Huskies guard Stephon Castle to show why he's the second-most important player on the San Antonio Spurs.
Former UConn Huskies national champion guard Stephon Castle has quickly emerged as the best player on the San Antonio Spurs not named Victor Wembanyama.
Castle handled all of the point guard duties when Chris Paul was off the floor, and he looked natural doing so. Castle has now scored in double-figures in his last five games and in six of his last seven, including a 23-point performance against the Utah Jazz last week. He makes great decisions with the ball, too, especially for someone who turned 20 less than a month ago. Castle’s lone turnover on Friday came on an entry pass to Wemby that wasn’t quite high enough for the seven-foot-four giant — more of a momentary underestimation of Wemby’s size than a bad decision.
