Castle contributed 19 points (5-7 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 8-12 FT), one rebound, eight assists and two blocks in 32 minutes during Tuesday's 122-117 loss to the Clippers.
ANALYSISCastle shot up the Kia rookie ladder and appears poised to take the coveted title of Rookie of the Year despite legit challenges from
