It has a long history! The father of the potential target of the Spurs' No. 4 signing should have been a teammate with Duncan?

In the draw ceremony of this year's NBA draft conference, the San Antonio Spurs were just so lucky. The Spurs, who ranked fifth from the bottom in the regular season, used their first round draw to draw the fourth. From the current situation, as the Spurs need to increase their backcourt staff, one of their target candidates is Stephen Castle, a freshman backcourt star who just helped the University of Connecticut defend its NCAA championship this season.

Interestingly, Castle is a player who has a good relationship with the Spurs. His father, Stacey Castle, was also a player who played in NCAA games, and he also teamed up with Spurs' meritorious player Tim Duncan for one season. Old Castle served at Wake Forest University from 1992 to 1994, while Duncan served at Wake Forest University from 1993 to 1997. This means that old Castle and Duncan were teammates for one season, and they played together at Wake Forest University in the 1993-94 season.

Old Castle was a sophomore at that time. He played 21 times in NCAA games, with an average playing time of 7.9 minutes. The average number of games was 2.4 points, 0.7 rebounds, 0.9 assists, 0.4 steals, 43.2% shooting percentage and 69.2% free throw percentage. Old Castle was just an ordinary player at that time. His role in the team was very limited, and he could not even appear in the team's rotation lineup stably. Relatively speaking, Duncan's situation is much better. Duncan, a freshman, made 33 appearances on behalf of the team in that year, with an average playing time of 30.2 minutes. The average number of appearances was 9.8 points, 9.6 rebounds, 0.9 assists, 0.4 steals 3.8 blocks, 54.5% shooting percentage and 74.5% free throw percentage.

In the following seasons, Duncan made continuous progress. He not only became the number one star of Wake Forest University, but also the number one center of NCAA. He was also signed by the Spurs as the number one player in the 1997 NBA draft conference and became an NBA player. His jersey was eventually retired by Wake Forest University. After playing his sophomore year in college, Cassel transferred to UCF and became a supervisor for a year. In the 1995-96 season, old Castle's performance in the NCAA arena actually made some progress. He made 26 appearances on behalf of the team, with an average playing time of 28 minutes. The average score was 11.4 points, 3.5 rebounds, 1.4 assists, 0.1 steals, 0.1 blocks, 38.9% shooting percentage, 27.6% three-point shooting percentage, and 69.4% free throw shooting percentage. However, it seems that old Castle did not start his career after graduation, and his basketball career is over. I wonder if Little Castle will have the chance to be finally selected by the Spurs in this year's NBA draft conference.
