Castle is averaging 9.8 points and 3.8 assists per game through four games on 46-27-70 shooting splits. The rookie has played just 20.2 minutes per game in the preseason showing flashes of being a great complimentary combo guard for San Antonio this season and going forward.
For Houston this preseason its duo of Jalen Green and Alperen Sengun have started to make the case for big rookie contract extensions. Green has led Houston with 17.3 points in just 22.6 minutes per game. He has continued the trend started last season shooting 8.0 three-pointers per game on quality efficiency.
Sengun is stuffing the statsheet like he has done for three seasons with 15.3 points, 6.3 rebounds and 3.0 assists per game. Second year wings Cam Whitmore (12.7 points per game) and Amen Thompson (10.7 points per game) have also played well making a case for being starters on this deep, young, exciting Houston team.
