Contract Value Index (CVI)
A-
Great Value
OverpayFair ValueGreat Value
Stephon Castle's value math nets an A- Contract Value Index relative to the league median at PG. At $9.56M AAV on a three-year rookie deal, Castle represents elite positional value—he's a second-year player generating franchise-caliber production (16.7 PPG, 7.4 APG across 68 games in 2025-26) while locked into sub-market compensation that won't approach starter-level salaries until well into his prime years. The Spurs are essentially borrowing a genuine All-Rookie talent at a fraction of what a comparable playmaker would command on the open market, a structural advantage that compounds as Castle's role deepens alongside the team's rebuild timeline. At 21 years old and having already claimed Rookie of the Year honors plus All-Rookie 1st Team recognition, Castle has accelerated past the typical second-year evaluation window—the mediaFraming reflects a player whose ceiling remains largely unproven rather than one still proving basic competence, meaning the upside embedded in this contract extends years beyond the typical rookie-deal discount window. With three years of team control remaining, San Antonio has locked in a foundation piece at a discount rate precisely when that player is entering his highest-leverage development phase, a contract structure that should age exceptionally well regardless of whether Castle evolves into a perennial All-Star or settles as an above-average franchise cornerstone.
