First Look At 4th Overall Pick Stephon Castle! 

Dude can defend and has good passing abilities. CP3 for sure a good mentor for the young man.

A 6’6 215lb point of attack defender and an alien defending the rim, sheesh.

Hes fundamentally sound, and controls the tempo. Will develop nice with cp3 as a mentor

This kid can play. He’s more than just a defensive specialist.. San Antonio is gonna mess around and win some games this year adding castle, Barnes, and cp3

He can definitely play point guard. Has great vision has great pacing. I can’t wait to see him develop with CP3 on his team

Idk man that 3 ball looks smooth as hell, his balance off two feet when he spins in the lane is brilliant. He does it so quick and can adjust his shot to either hand mid air, v excited to see him with the squad

Castle's game looks clean, cool, collected & controlled. 👍🏼🏀💯

Castle is a hooper for sure. Great vision and playmaking moves. Excited for his future with veteran mentors around him

He did an impressive Tony Parkeresque spin move.

He’s gonna learn a lot from CP3

That logo 3 was sick

Now that's a proper rookie debut

has potential to be a star!

Just goes to show, there’s a big difference between ‘can’t shoot’ and ‘inconsistent’. This is not some Ben Simmons situation, or even a Giddey situation, Castle has decent overall mechanics and coaching, reps and confidence will go a long way towards building consistency. Encouraging.

What doesnt show was opponents avoiding him like the plague like they used to do with Kawhi. Add in Wemby+Sochan and there's nowhere to attack.

Cp3 gonna be a good mentor

Dude is a defense savage

I didnt know he was that good of a ball handler as he is.

I can’t wait til he is playing with the main squad, he will be able to be a huge playmaker for Wemby and the rest of the team plus get buckets on his own.

Rookie of the year book it

Already has great court vision, bodies up well on defense and stays active thru the whole play, and his shot looks fluid. Perfect fit for the Spurs. I'm hyped to see him in the starting lineup

With proper training and development and the right attitude, his ceiling is SGA/Ant

Best player in the draft

Promising 🙏 the way he pass, handles,defend offense will follow can't wait for our season spurs go spurs!!!

My man even managed to have +1 in the blowout game.

I see some glimpses of Brandoy Roy. Keep it up young man. Excited for this kid in SA!

He will be the best player in this draft class. Hawks fumble big time

Dude nice go spurs go

Looks like he has a lot of upside with being a great defensive PG, gonna learn a lot from CP3.

Castle is gonna be so good.

The vision is def there, once he starts realizing he is bigger and more athletic than most players, he will be dominate going to the rim.

Looking scary 😱 good 😮 I’m getting excited

"Ok you can play Point Guard now"

CP3 need to have that Shai effect on him

Truly hard to believe this guy is only 19. He already has the ideal NBA body and even greater since he’s a PG, handles the ball like a vet. It’s just so amazing to watch! So excited for this team!

He can ball, shot like smooth nice vision

Yeah he should start at the 2 with Chris Paul cuz he's going to be something special.

SGA and Chet vs Castle and Wemby about to run the league

Stephon attended my school, Newton High, and graduated in 2023, while I graduated in 2012. The talent in today's league is incredible. The best player on our 2011 and 2012 team could not stop him.

I see a lot of young d white on him the way he handles the ball at facilitate sa offense

he has composure, and seems to have "those moves" , not flashy but like SGA type, if he can develop his jumpshot and three pt, then he's gonna be a star

Ceiling SGA 2.0!

The Spin Move was cold, he did the spin to the right but finished with his left hand that's tough, good body control and awareness, for someone that's supposed to be a work in progress from 3 he's shooting with confidence and the form looks clean, that's a good sign.

1:08 they seem to give the score to the hornets after that Castle 3

Calling it now he’s gonna be a STAR

Found the PG of the future now next years draft gets a lot easier with all of those wings. Yessir!

I see a super high upside player. I have read all over scouting reports saying that he isn't any kind of elite athlete but with his size and strength for a guard he is as athletic as he needs to be for his game to work on both sides. Not to mention he plays with tempo. He looks like a guy who once he really starts improving after his 1st/2nd seasons who could have elite PG upside. Despite what I've heard there doesn't seem to be anything limited about his offense. The shot will have to improve over time but he knows where to be and where his shots are and has a much better looking 3 ball than I was expecting. Very impressed.

Looks real comfortable

In a :21 sec stretch in the 1st qtr, he got an off reb, asst, def reb and a bucket, CONSECUTIVELY. In his first game, the potential is there

You could see flashes at Uconn but he was a role player as is everybody on the Uconn squad(s). He has a complete game and has great vision/tempo as mentioned in the comments here. I think he can be a great pro. There is a reason Hurley was so high on this kid…got to see him every day and at 19….sky is the limit

that boy good!

Shot didn’t look bad!

Castle has a lot of poise and control for a 19yr old. Kinda like a CP3. Oooops he's gonna mentor him. 3 years tops and this kid will be borderline All Star. Wemby Sochan Castle defensive trio will be a nightmare to go up against real soon.

Poised, confident, fundamentally sound. Those alone will take him far.

OH MY GOD. I knew he was gonna be good, and I know he'll have his rookie moments (we probably missed a few since this was a 2-minute highlight package) - but OH MY GOD. OMG. The NBA is over. Wemby + Castle is going to be the truth for 5-10 years.

“Castle doesn’t have to worry about that sociology paper….” You think any player who was going to be a 1st round lottery pick was worried about school work? And at UConn?

I like how self aware he is and therefore doesn't do too much.

Happy he’s part of our rebuilding hopefully we get some more help so we can have a good year at least make play-in would show we make progress back to the playoffs

I mean. Hes about the same or better than cade cunningham rookie season. But castle definitely better defensively.

👽+ 🏰= 🏆

He plays just like Markelle Fultz (at least on offense).

So much potential can’t wait to see him play in a NBA game

Didn't watch the NCAAs this season but he's tuff.

Future Rookie of the Year

He can play the point for sure. The real test though will be whether he can play the point next to Wembanyama.

damn hes on the great hands with pops and cp3. sheeshhh

Bro is raw and needs work. Big things to come from that young man

Another rookie worth to watch, gonna be a good tandem for Wemby

I like it, got the spin move, the floater, the deep three, good passing vision and works on defense. I see a larger tony Parker, less quickness but more length.

They are giving Charlotte the points when spurs score 😵‍💫

gonna be a steady, productive guard in the league for a while. Love his game. San Antonio did well get nab this guy

Only played one year of college. Not the finished article yet. Could end up the best player in this class.

His defensive pressure will be unbelievable knowing he has a freak rim protector behind him!

Castle is the guy the think bronny james is

Oh its actually so over

Castle and Clingon with Wemby would have been legendary. So close

It’s only highlights of 1 game but he’s more developed offensively than I imagined.

He made bro on the hornets throw it like a football 😂😂

My favorite player of this draft

I don’t wanna speak too soon but he’s looks impressive and shows high iq

This is so promising. and with the additions of Vets like CP3 and Barnes. The spurs are on to something

Castle is a beast in the paint. Maybe a PG with post up moves...

If he adapted Cp3’s mindset on playmaking, he might be one of the best two-way guard going forward

He will be a force to be reckon with

Very Impressive!!

Chris paul bout to turn this guy into a pick n roll beast

Castle is nice! From a Laker fan, y’all got one with him. Don’t sleep on 15 either! Bouyea!

I'm glad y'all like Castle 🥹🥹🥹

SA actually looks exciting for next year. They just need that 3 and 4 to really elevate the team

Elite! Spurss in the playoffs again.

I'm getting excited with possible combinations between castle and wemby in two or three years.

Jrue holiday vibes

If he can actually develop a 36% 3 pointer on over 5 attempts per game. He could be a star. He has everything but a shot. But unfortunately players rarely ever improve shots from how poor his % in college was. So at best he may just be a bigger Marcus Smart.

Darius Garland with a Defensive game

Is it crazy to think he wins ROTY?

That tear-drop will surely improve with TP's guidance.

Geez...the confidence!

Kid looks SOLID. That’s a starter

His game is smooth

Gary Payton like but why were they down by 30? The focus on winning every game have been lost. This moral victory mentality allows players to be content with being embarrassed.
