Message: [QUOTE="REB1094, post: 4750908, member: 12147"] Preseason NBA mock drafts are based on how a player theoretically projects into the NBA, and where/how they performed during major tournaments (which is included in rankings). It is understood that HS is different than college and college is different than the NBA, so yes they are pretty much solely based on assumptions and not actual college data. Castle is a 6’6 PG that can get anywhere on the court at will. It’s already being considered that his stats will be lower at UConn, but the build and behaviors are there. He has the benefit of being a starting guard on a really good team, so getting the attention won’t be an issue. Unless he drastically underperforms this year, the scouts seemingly have their mind made up that he will go somewhere in the lottery. It’s up to him to decide if he wants to take it. Teams loaded with one and and dones don’t usually win rings in college, but they sure are fun! The idea is better prospects = more attention = more visibility and money for the program. I’m very willing and very happy to take a one and done every year while building the rest of the roster with more continuity. Being in the mix for one and done level players means your program is very successful. [/QUOTE]
