Stephon Castle accounted for 17 points (7-of-20 FGs, 2-of-3 FTs), six rebounds, six assists, one steal, and one 3-pointer in 32 minutes in Saturday’s loss to Indiana.
After scoring nine points in Thursday’s win over the Pacers, Castle was more productive on Saturday. In addition to the 17 points, the rookie guard contributed six rebounds and six assists in his 32 minutes on the court. However, the efficiency remains a sore spot. Castle shot 10-of-29 from the field in San Antonio’s two games in Paris, and he committed seven turnovers (two on Saturday). That’s going to happen, especially for a rookie. More concerning for Castle managers is a potential change to the starting lineup, as Jeremy Sochan played both games against the Pacers after missing nearly three weeks with a back injury. He’ll eventually move back into the starting lineup; the question is when.
