San Antonio rookie Stephon Castle comes to the franchise as a rookie with plenty to offer, but interestingly enough, now being a signed member of the Silver & Black is the only connection he's ever had with the Spurs.
Between the five NBA championships they've brought home, the players who have made it possible and the coach who's seen it all, it's hard not to think of the past when it comes to the South Texas franchise. Stephon Castle is, fittingly, no different.
Coming from UConn, the guard showed lots of promise on the court with his strong basketball IQ and versatility. He can hold his own on defense and play multiple positions on offense, which makes him a good fit for the Spurs as they look to get back into contention.Interestingly enough, now being a Spur isn't the only connection Castle has with San Antonio. His dad, Stacey, also played before him and even spent a handful of seasons as the teammate of Tim Duncan at Wake Forest back in 1993.
