The Spurs are primed to accomplish a feat they haven't reached in a decade

Victor Wembanyama put together one of the greatest individual seasons that we've ever seen from a 22-year-old, becoming the league's first unanimous Defensive Player of the Year while making the All-NBA First Team. He was the only Spur to accomplish the latter, but that won't be the case in 2027. Stephon Castle will join him by snagging an All-NBA selection as well.

It would be the first time since 2016 that two Spurs players have achieved that feat in the same season. During that run, Kawhi Leonard made the first team while LaMarcus Aldridge made the third, leading San Antonio to 67 wins and the second seed in the Western Conference.

History will repeat itself, as both Wemby and Castle will force All-NBA voters to give them their flowers. It'll be familiar territory for Victor, but for Stephon, this would be a new experience. He'll finally have some hardware to reflect his undeniable impact.

Stephon Castle is ready to make an All-NBA leap

There are plenty of reasons to believe that Castle will make an All-NBA team next season. One is very simple: there aren't many other guards in the league like him.

Stephon is an elite defender who's more than willing to check some of the best perimeter scorers in the world, be it Luka Doncic, Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, or Cade Cunningham. What makes him so unique, though, is his ability to pair his defensive prowess with a complete offensive attack.

Castle was great as a lead ball handler for the Spurs last season, posting the highest assist average while showing some growth as a mid-range and three-point shooter. He'll get even better in each of those areas next season, establishing himself as an even more polished scorer and playmaker.

The list of guards who can carry such a heavy defensive and offensive load and still perform well on both ends is very thin, and it's why Stephon is such a rare talent in this league. That astronomical two-way impact will be impossible for All-NBA decision-makers to ignore next season.

Victor is more than capable of making back to back All-NBA appearances

Outside of injuries, there isn't much that can keep Victor Wembanyama from making his second consecutive All-NBA First Team appearance. He's already a top-five player in the league, impacting the game on both ends like nobody else can.

His experience in the 2026 NBA playoffs will mold him into an even better player, which is scary for opponents. Similar to Castle, he'll be sharper as a scorer, mastering his spots in the half-court and dominating as a shot creator.

Not only would this solidify Wemby's spot on another All-NBA team, but it would also get him a step closer to securing his first MVP award. He finished third in voting last season, so he's hungry to take home the league's most highly coveted individual accolade.

Stephon and Victor have everything it takes to become the first duo of this new Spurs era to earn All-NBA recognition. For Wemby, he must be hungry to build off of his astronomical third season. For Castle, fine-tuning his offensive attack will be the biggest key.
