Drafted in 4th position by the Spurs, Stephon Castle was officially presented this weekend by San Antonio. The opportunity for the leader to talk about his objectives and his future association with Victor Wembanyama.
A great talent announced for the 2024 vintage, Stephon Castle is one of the names that we will be following closely during the next NBA season. University champion with UConn, the guard was able to convince the Spurs to bet on him with their 4th pick. In Texas, the youngster will have time to develop well, in a team which continues its reconstruction.
Stephon Castle will thus be able to play under the legendary Gregg Popovich but also share the locker room with veteran Chris Paul or even a certain Victor Wembanyama. For Castle, it’s a real joy and the player seemed to dream of playing with the Frenchman for a while. Comments reported by ESPN.
“The idea of playing with him, of course, floats through your mind, but it doesn’t really seem real until it’s real. By that I mean, knowing that he’s going to be my future teammate makes me very excited about our future.”
Castle had shown great complicity with Donovan Clingan in the NCAA, but the former protégé of Dan Hurley expects a whole new level with the presence of Wemby in the paint.
“It was fun throwing lobs in DC, so I can only imagine what it will be like [de lancer des lobs à Wembanyama]”.
Castle notably described Wembanyama as “the best shot blocker in the NBA.” A nice way to return the favor to Wemby, who had been delighted with the arrival of the UConn guard at the time of the NBA Draft. We can’t wait to see the two players combine on the court from now on.
