Spurs guard Stephon Castle's scoring has dipped since his role changed, but he remains one of the frontrunners in the rookie of the year chase.
NEW YORK – Stephon Castle has not hit the dreaded rookie wall. Given how well he has performed since the Spurs drafted him fourth overall this past summer, it's quite possible he never will. But if he does, he's got a plan to break through with ease. 'Everybody goes through it,' he said. 'You just have to stay true to your work and keep grinding and you'll get over it.
Castle receives special, surprise Christmas gift 'We have more people available, so everybody's minutes are a little bit more spread out now,' Johnson said, referring to Sochan, Devin Vassell and Tre Jones all returning to full health after either being out because of injuries or on minutes restrictions after their returns. Bottom line, Castle is adjusting to coming off the bench again, a role he had in the team's first seven games.
