Castle draft status?

[UofCT]

I hope he dodges the Pistons and Hornets and land with one of the other teams.

Historically the Pistons are a very good franchise. Not sure what’s going on now.

 

[Hey Adrien!]

All I gotta say is Castle is shooting 42.9% from three over the last eight games.

That was his #1 weakness entering the season and his improvement on his three-point shot has been undeniable.

 

[I Bleed Blue]

I think Castle has a shot at a Top 5 pick with a solid and productive February-April (hopefully). He’s going to be a fantastic NBA player.

 

[REB1094]

He's pretty steadily increased his box score production as the year has gone on

Season average -
10.9 PPG, 4.4 RPG, 3.1 APG, 1.1 SPG
48.3% FG, 32.4% 3P, 71.6% FT

2024 so far (11 games)
12.7 PPG, 4.6 RPG, 3.3 APG, 1.1 SPG
49.5% FG, 38.5% 3P, 71.1% FT

Last 5 games -
15.0 PPG, 3.4 RPG, 2.0 APG, 0.8 SPG
54.0% FG, 60.0% 3P (6-10!!), 71.4% FT

And one of the best perimeter defenders in the conference

I'm probably alone on this, but I think he just might stay for one more year.

You're not alone in thinking that, but you should be

Not to derail this thread but Kevin Ollie does have a good track record with point guards, people forget Ollie’s first year here was 2011. Even in the down years our pg play wasn’t bad. Think whatever else you want of Ollie but we always had good pg play.

Why would a lottery pick even consider coming back? Asking for a friend.

Duncan stayed all four years. It happens.

Your best argument is a guy who was drafted before most of this board was born. My man.

Jimmy Butler stayed three.

 

[Seamus84]

He should stay and get his degree

 

[Connecticut13]

Jimmy Butler stayed three.

Jimmy Butler wasn’t a lottery pick.

If Castle projects as a lottery pick, he should (and I expect he will) go.

 

[uconnbill]

unless he is receiving a huge NIL he will be going at the latest next year but more than likely after this season when UConn wins the National Championship once again

 

[UConnRock]

A top 10 draft pick is guaranteed $30 or more. He is gone. Enjoy his time here.

Fine Brandon Roy. 4 years 6th pick.

Catch a theme on the two players yet?

Both possible comps…

FIFY

Tbh, I was a little disappointed when we played Gonzaga and Drew Timme was gone.

I didn't realize it was that high, and I thought he should leave for 1/3 that amount
