Castleton was legitimately in play for both a triple double and a 5x5. Even accounting for the lower quality of the big men in the G League, it’s still a super impressive debut for the rookie.

    I like him a lot.

    Just to put it in perspective, he had more assists per game in summer league (4.29) as an undrafted center than Dlo had as a 2nd pick (3.2 as a rookie and 4.0 on his second year in Summer League) and Fino (3.33)

    The only young PG I remember with more assists than Castleton was Lonzo Ball, but that team in transition was the best Summer League squad ever :-)

    That’s nice, but we all saw what Jay Huff was doing in the g league and it clearly wasn’t transferring to the real games.

    Castle has looked pretty terrible in preseason against actually NBA players

    Needs to add strength = both for defebce n offence he can’t finish lobs so will need it and better layup /floater package ti finish .

    Also I think he really needs to work on his face up game. He’s a 70+% ft shooter so hopefully he can get low 30s shooter with years of work . If he gets 1 of these he’ll get minutes if he does both he’ll be a real asset.
