Spurs guard Stephon Castle works to sharpen his outside shooting
Stephon Castle says he is focusing on improving his perimeter shooting after an inconsistent postseason.
After the San Antonio Spurs reached the 2026 NBA Finals, guard Stephon Castle admitted his perimeter shooting faltered in the postseason. Recognizing this weakness, he has intensified his training to refine his jump-shot mechanics and rhythm. Castle, already noted for his defensive abilities, aims to become a more reliable scorer from beyond the arc.
He believes that improving this skill will make the Spurs, alongside Victor Wembanyama, harder to defend in the 2026-27 campaign. The player’s commitment to the work was highlighted in a recent workout video where he practiced his shooting form. The team views his development as a key factor in their future success.
Why it matters
Castle’s shooting improvement could boost the Spurs’ offensive options and impact their competitiveness next season.
