Stephon Castle emerged as the Rookie of the Year, achieving a significant milestone for the San Antonio Spurs as they celebrated back-to-back award winners with Victor Wembanyama and Castle. With over 1,000 points, Castle was the fifth rookie in Spurs history to cross this threshold. The voting was heavily in his favor, garnering 92 first-place votes. His performances stood out, leading all rookies in points and steals, while accolades poured in from teammates like Chris Paul who lauded his competitive spirit, a trait essential for success.
Castle's win marked the second time in more than a half-century that one franchise went back-to-back with the top-rookie honor. Minnesota's Andrew Wiggins and Karl-Anthony Towns were voted rookies of the year in 2015 and 2016, respectively.
I get so excited watching him play. The first thing that I want to see in a teammate or anybody is how competitive they are. That will take you further than talent any day.
