What do we think of the San Antonio Spurs drafting UConn star Stephon Castle?

His elite athleticism and solid finishing can get him to the cup. But it will require him to unlock his jump shot to unlock his potential.

What do we think of the San Antonio Spurs drafting UConn star guard Stephon Castle with the No. 4 overall pick of the 2024 NBA draft? A dynamic defender able to cover 1-3 with ease and occasionally larger in short encounters, Castle also has good court vision and ball handling skills.

His elite athleticism and solid finishing can get him to the cup when he needs to. But it will require him to unlock his jump shot all over the court for the former Husky champ to truly unlock his star potential for the Spurs. Is that a big risk, or something San Antonio can pull off given their record in developing prospects in the past?

The folks behind the “SSPN: A San Antonio Spurs Podcast” YouTube channel took a closer look in a recent clip.

Take a look at the clip embedded above to hear what they had to say about San Antonio drafting Castle.
