Stephon Castle is the forgotten man in the public eye for the San Antonio Spurs. While many people are excited for the Victor Wembanyama + De'Aaron Fox duo, and eventually the Wembanyama + Dylan Harper duo, the Wemby + Castle duo didn't get much buzz in the offseason, even after a Rookie of the Year campaign for the former UConn Huskies star. But what if that pair ends up being the most effective of the bunch?
In the first two games of the season, the second-year point guard and third-year center looked like a domineering defensive duo; in the opener, they shut down whoever tried to score on them (Cooper Flagg and Anthony Davis were two of the many victims) and they were going to enjoy it, too.
