Basketball and San Antonio run in Castle's blood: his father, Stacey, was a teammate of Hall of Famer Tim Duncan at Wake Forest, a fitting thread for a player who became a Spur. Raised in Covington, Georgia by parents Quannette and Stacey, he was a McDonald's All-American before winning it all as a UConn freshman.
His identity is size and playmaking — a big guard who can run an offense, get downhill, and defend multiple positions. The 40-point triple-double that put him in franchise company with David Robinson signaled a leap from Rookie of the Year to genuine building block on a Spurs team with title aspirations.
A big, versatile playmaking guard — scoring, creating, and defending with rising two-way upside.
