The Sacramento Kings have interest in acquiring Stephon Castle in a possible De'Aaron Fox trade with the San Antonio Spurs. There is skepticism, however, that the Spurs will be willing to include him any offer. Castle was the No. 4 overall pick by the Spurs out of UConn and he has had a hugely impressive rookie season.

The Spurs could presumably feel comfortable offering the Kings a significant trade offer for Fox considering he is interested in remaining with the franchise long-term. Most other teams interested in Fox may have to consider him a rental as he can become a free agent in 2026. The Kings have received interest on Fox from more than half the other teams in the NBA.

Castle, who is represented by Joe Smith and Thaddeus Foucher, is averaging 11.9 points, 2.6 rebounds and 3.5 assists in 25.5 minutes over 43 games. Castle is shooting just 26.1 percent on 3.8 three-point attempts per game.

Seriously. I n see that quote then look at the stat line. Sounds like public posturing so the Spurs can keep an extra pick or two to consummate a deal.

Yeah man, I was thinking the same thing. 11pts and 3 assists is great I guess? lol 38% on FG, 26% on 3s.....what is supremely bad then? 2pts and 1 ast?

Maybe it should have been 'more impressive than expected rookie season.' He has show some flashes that makes it feel like he is going to be a decent/good player in the league.
