Stephon Castle admits he actively avoided other teams in the 2024 NBA Draft so he could team up with Victor Wembanyama in San Antonio
“I was just looking on the defensive side of things (in San Antonio), where being able to pair with Victor was definitely a plus in my eyes.I just thought it would have been a perfect fit, and I feel like it was.”
“I think being (in San Antonio) was always number one on my list. Internally, I always felt like I was the best player in that draft. (But) I didn’t know what could happen. My agent always told me, like, anything can happen in a draft. Like, you could not work out for a team, not have talked to a team, and they can still take you. So, I mean, I wasn’t really planning on playing in Houston. I didn’t really know how any of that worked. I was kind of hoping I could slide my way to San Antonio. It kind of worked out for me.”
