Charles Barkley has often made bold NBA predictions and comparisons, but his most recent one is especially noteworthy. During an interview with Bill Simmons, the NBA legend claimed he has found a duo that could be the NBA's next Stephen Curry and Klay Thompson.
"First of all, those two guards, I don't want to see them for the next 10 years if I'm a guard in the NBA," Barkley said on The Bill Simmons Podcast about the Spurs' young backcourt in Stephon Castle and Dylan Harper.
"If I'm a guard in the NBA, I do not want to see them, boys, for the next 10 years. They're going to be the best. They're going to be the new Steph and Klay."
Stephon Castle ended 2025-26 averaging 17.0 points, 7.1 ******* ists, and 5.3 rebounds while shooting 46.8% from the field and 33.7% from behind the three-point line in 91 games (including the playoffs).
Meanwhile, Dylan Harper averaged 12.4 points, 3.9 rebounds, and 3.6 ******* ists in 2025-26 while shooting 50.7% from the field and 34.0% from beyond the arc, including the playoffs, in 92 games, mostly coming off the bench.
