It’s the final weekend before the NBA regular season begins, which means you’re coming here for your fantasy basketball drafts.
Should you draft Stephon Castle this season? Here’s the latest outlook, projections, and rankings for the San Antonio Spurs Shooting Guard.
Should You Draft Stephon Castle in Fantasy Basketball?
Stephon Castle heads into his second NBA season as the Spurs’ starting shooting guard, fresh off winning Rookie of the Year. The 20-year-old closed his debut campaign in impressive fashion, averaging 19.1 points, 6.2 assists, and 5.4 rebounds over his final 18 games while filling in for the injured De’Aaron Fox and Victor Wembanyama.
His elite athleticism and knack for drawing fouls give him strong points-league appeal, though his outside efficiency and limited perimeter volume remain barriers in category formats.
Castle’s role will be smaller with Fox healthy and No. 2 pick Dylan Harper joining the backcourt rotation. Still, he projects for steady starter minutes and should see a usage boost early while Fox recovers from a preseason injury.
Castle offers notable upside if his efficiency climbs and he retains a meaningful playmaking role. He’s a better investment in points leagues, where his scoring, assists, and foul-drawing ability outweigh concerns about percentages. Even with more talent around him, Castle’s athleticism, assertiveness, and youth make him a breakout candidate.
