The San Antonio Spurs are off to a sizzling 8-2 start and have superstar Victor Wembanyama to thank—especially after what he did to the Chicago Bulls. Though Stephon Castle also deserves plenty of praise. The reigning Rookie of the Year is averaging a terrific 18.3 points on 48.4% shooting, as well as 5.7 rebounds, 7.8 assists, and 2 steals, filling up the stat sheet.
That's a heck of a statline for a second-year player, with Castle suddenly making a massive leap forward when the Spurs need it the most. No De'Aaron Fox, no Jeremy Sochan, no Luke Kornet, no matter, San Antonio has kept on trucking with Castle and Wembanyama leading the charge.
