Castle and the arc.

[CL82]

But he's a great private investigator.

Meh, he can be bought.

Love this kid. If he plays like this we should absolutely win the title. How do you stop this team?

College basketball is pretty random, but this team has multiple offensive answers and a great defense. Great teams lose all the time due to the inherent randomness, but this team should be in the Final Four minimally.

Connecticut’s Stephon Castle certainly has a case to make. He’s impacted winning on both ends of the floor for the No. 1-ranked team in the country. But scouts are still concerned about his outside shooting (24% from three). And with both Tristen Newton and Cam Spencer out of eligibility after this season, it might make sense for him to return as UConn’s primary creator next season.

This draft class sucks. He's an obvious lottery pick.

If he wants to come back, sure. I love him as a player and he totally buys in. But next year will be very difficult to go higher than this year.

This version of Castle is the best player in the draft.

One of his drives where he was pounded, stopped, hacked and made it shows his strength.

This version of Castle is the best player in the draft.

Real close to true if he keeps playing like this, and continues on his upward trajectory.

 

[HooperScooper]

One of his drives where he was pounded, stopped, hacked and made it shows his strength.

That was impressive. He got absolutely mugged by 2 or 3 players and went right through the hard contact and finished.

Btw, not only 2-2 from three today but 5-5 from the line. He's looking more comfortable each game.

It’s February 3rd. The only thing in the college hoops that can stop Castle in March will be Big East refs…
Oh wait….

 

[JustbrewitMan]

8-18 from 3 over his last 6 games.

 

[Palatine]

8-18 from 3 over his last 6 games.

That would be a cool 44.44444%

Guy is exuding confidence. Back to back 20 point games is no fluke. When he takes a step back, scans the court and makes his move he more often than not makes it happen or gets to the line. Classic slasher and his three looks better and better by the game

 

[GoConn]

This kid is our best player.

 

[superjohn]

Also, whoever came up with the Jimmy Butler comp for Castle was dead on

 

[jibsey]

This kid is our best player.

That’s debateable. Cam? Alex? Clingan? Without Newton we’re not going to make it. The numbers don’t always tell it but I say it’s Newton. This thing is fluid and varies game to game but Castle’s last 2 have been very good.
