Castle was elected the best rookie! For the first time in nearly 50 years! The Spurs are about to rise!

Spurs player Castle was elected the NBA Best Rookie in the 2024-25 season! This season, Castle played 81 games, averaging 26.7 minutes per game, scoring 14.7 points, 3.7 rebounds, 4.1 assists, and 0.9 steals.

It is worth mentioning that the Spurs players were elected the best rookie for two consecutive years. Maybe many people have forgotten that this season is only his second season. Looking back at history, the last time the best rookie in two consecutive years was won by players from the same team was 1972-73 and 1973-74. Bob McAdu and Elny Gregrio of the Buffalo Braves were elected respectively.

The rookies of this year were still full of complaints. The No. 1 picks and No. 2 picks from France were not very good, and Shepard only existed in Xialian, although it was said that Rissach and Saar found their feelings one after another in the middle and late season. But it's still a bit worse than Castle. In fact, Castle was not the first choice at the beginning. McCain, the 76ers' magic fairy brother, emerged. Unfortunately, it was a bit regrettable that he would be somewhat reimbursed due to injury. Otherwise, the competition for the best rookie this season might be even more intense. There is also good news for the best rookie, and the success rate of the best rookie is quite high. Putting aside Castle, among the 19 best rookies in the past 20 years, only Tyrek Evans, McCaway and Brogdon have not made it to the All-Star. Among these three, only McAvey did not reach a higher level, but McAvey can be said to be at its peak when he debuted, and won a four-double against the Heat Big Three in his career.

When the literary class returns to the next year, young people will grow up again. The Spurs with literary class are definitely a team worth looking forward to.
