Castle has found his groove as a starter, scoring 23 points or more in the last two games. The 20-year-old has been filling in for Jeremy Sochan (back) and starting the three games for the Spurs. He's averaging 14.8 points, 2.6 rebounds, and 4.3 assists per game and shooting 40.7 percent from the floor as a starter for San Antonio.

The way Stephon Castle understands it, he is simply keeping a seat warm. With Jeremy Sochan sidelined by a troublesome back in four of the past six games, Castle has been serving as a fill in with the Spurs’ starting lineup.
