Spurs must stick with Stephon Castle experiment after seeing it in action
Third-year San Antonio Spurs guard Stephon Castle is being asked to play a new role and must see it through for the team to thrive. He has been tasked with playing more off-ball compared to his sophomore season.
As a result, Castle's play has been far more inconsistent as he adjusts to a new role. Although he played primarily off ball as a rookie, he thrived playing point guard last season, even leading the team in total assists and assists per game.
However, with him now playing with two other point guards, he is being tasked with spotting up more. That has forced him to rely more on 3-point shooting than ever before, and it's been a work in progress.
