The San Antonio Spurs made the fourth pick in the NBA Draft for the first time in franchise history when they selected Connecticut guard Stephon Castle.
Stephon Castle poses for a photo on the red carpet before the NBA basketball draft, Wednesday, June 26, 2024, in New York. –
STEPHON CASTLE: Yeah, definitely. Just being able to show my playmaking ability with such a great teammate like that. And just learning how to play off the ball at UConn, so being able to show that as well, especially with having a great teammate like Victor. Being able to set ball screens for him and cut in space when teams are trying to load up on him. Just trying to use all aspects of my game to just impact winning.
Q: Curious, you’re going from one culture-based program at UConn to a culture-based team with the Spurs. Talk about your conversations with coach Popovich leading up to the draft and your thoughts on playing for Dan Hurley and going to play for Gregg Popovich? STEPHON CASTLE: Everything is just happening like really, really fast. Just being in the ‘natty,’ soaking in that moment with my teammates. That’s a super big accomplishment. And flip over to a couple months later and you and another one of your teammates are top-10 picks. It really means the world to me, and I wouldn’t trade this for anything.STEPHON CASTLE: I just talked to him on the phone not too long ago.
