It was not all that long ago that new San Antonio Spurs rookie Stephon Castle was fighting to win an NCAA title with fellow lottery pick Donovan Clingan as the two University of Connecticut alumni led the Huskies to their second consecutive championship. But now the Georgia native has been picked up by the Spurs with the No. 4 overall pick of the 2024 draft, and has been leaving his mark on the California Classic Summer League since.
Who is Stephon Castle, and what do we need to know about the defensive-minded combo guard? Stephon Javonte Castle was born on November 1, 2004, in Covington, Georgia, and attended Newton High School, where he became a McDonald’s All-American.
He would go on to UConn and a national title with the Huskies, of course, but what else do we need to know about him?
The folks behind the official San Antonio Spurs YouTube channel put together a clip embedded above to answer that question. Check it out!
