Wembanyama and Castle rank as top NBA duo among players 25 and under

Cbssports placed the San Antonio Spurs pairing of Victor Wembanyama (22) and Stephon Castle (21) at No. 1 on its ranking of the NBA's best duos where both players are 25 or younger. According to the piece, Wembanyama is in his third season and is averaging a 24-point double-double on 61.9 true shooting percentage, is getting to the line nearly seven times per game and shooting close to 85%, and is averaging almost three blocks per game while leading defensive estimated plus-minus; Castle is described as hyper athletic with excellent size, though he still needs to work on his shooting and has turnover issues while enjoying a fine sophomore season.

The list also puts the Thunder's Jalen Williams (24) and Chet Holmgren (23) at No. 2 — both signed rookie max extensions this offseason — and the Rockets' Alperen Sengun (23) and Amen Thompson (22) at No. 3, with rankings continuing through No. 10, which features the Trail Blazers' Deni Avdija (25) and Shaedon Sharpe (22).
