Stephon Castle, the former UConn Huskies standout guard, made a significant impact on the San Antonio Spurs as he scored a career-high 26 points against the Memphis Grizzlies. Although the Spurs faced a tough 129-115 loss, Castle showcased his potential and skills on the court, particularly his poise and ability to finish plays. This performance solidifies his presence in the Rookie of the Year conversation, as he continues to build on his early NBA career.

Despite struggling with his three-point shooting, hitting only 22% from beyond the arc, Castle has demonstrated a knack for making effective plays and initiating contact effectively in the paint. He has achieved six 20+ point games in his first 38 NBA contests, highlighting the promise he showed during his time at UConn.
