In this exclusive Athlon Sports interview, Senior Video Producer Steve Driscoll sits down with Stephon Castle, rookie guard for the San Antonio Spurs, to talk about everything from his dream Spurs starting five with Tim Duncan, Manu Ginóbili, Tony Parker, Kawhi Leonard and Victor Wembanyama, to the top three hardest NBA players he’s had to guard (Kyrie Irving, Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and Paolo Banchero).

Castle opens up about the San Antonio Spurs’ playoff aspirations, why he won’t put a ceiling on the team, and how they plan to take a leap in the Western Conference this season. He also breaks down the best way to score on and defend against Victor Wembanyama, his thoughts on Wemby’s Buddhist temple training this summer, and his partnership with USAA to promote house fire prevention.

Plus, Castle gives his take on Danny Hurley potentially jumping to the NBA, reacts to his own Wikipedia photo, and reveals his dream UConn starting five fresh off the 2024 National Championship team.
