The Spurs' Stephon Castle is good with putting his point guard plans on hold, if it means a chance to learn from an all-time great like Chris Paul
SACRAMENTO , Calif . — The eyes of Spurs Nation were affixed to San Antonio on Tuesday, as the team unveiled its most high-profile free agent acquisition of the summer. Chris Paul , a 12-time All-Star , longtime Spurs antagonist and player widely regarded as the top point guard of his generation, is now set to don the silver and black. A good 1,700 miles to the west, the 19-year-old who is set to become Paul’s latest NBA protégé wholeheartedly applauded the move.

I’m looking forward to picking his brain about what he’s looking at in those situations, trying to pick up on it and add it to my game.
