99. Stephon Castle, G, San Antonio Spurs
2024 NBA Rank: Unranked
The No. 4 pick of the 2024 NBA draft, Castle unwittingly applied a little pressure on incoming No. 2 pick Dylan Harper: He became San Antonio’s second consecutive player to win NBA Rookie of the Year and the fourth Spur to capture the honor, joining Victor Wembanyama, Tim Duncan and David Robinson. Castle started 47 games as a rookie and led his draft class in total points (1,190), made field goals (423) and steals (74). The runner-up in last season’s Slam Dunk Contest, Castle is San Antonio’s stickiest perimeter defender. — Michael C. Wright
Signature stat: On his way to winning Rookie of the Year, Castle had 26 20-point games last season, most among rookies and the fifth-most by a rookie in Spurs history.
Fantasy projection: 15.8 PTS, 3.9 REB, 4.4 AST
