The Spurs are possible contenders but first need Stephon Castle to thrive in his new role.
After years spent rebuilding, the San Antonio Spurs are hoping that Victor Wembanyama and De'Aaron Fox will lead them back to the playoffs. They will also need several of their young players to step up, specifically, Stephon Castle.
Castle has all of the tools to be the Spurs' third star but may have to first settle into a new role this season. The Spurs already have a plethora of ball-handlers with Fox and Dylan Harper, which means that they will need Castle to play more off-ball.
