Stephon Castle is #8 on the final 2023 On3 Five-Stars List

[huskymedic]

-> Stephon Castle was a standout on the Under Armour Next Circuit with the Atlanta Xpress program. The UConn signee first moved into five-star status – from the mid-to-late-20s – in the November of 2022 On3 150 update. His positional size and ability to fill a stat sheet became too much to ignore. The following January update moved Castle firmly into the top ten, where he would stay. The 6-foot-5 McDonald’s All-American averaged 20.2 points. 9.5 rebounds, and 4.8 assists, logging multiple triple-doubles this season for his Covington (GA) Newton High team. <-

But I read on the BY that he can't shoot, pass or handle the ball.

On3 kind of stinks, I think they like to be contrarian at times

Don't forget his lack of athleticism. Really looking forward to seeing Stephon in action. Love how engaged his family has been in supporting UConn.

8. SG Stephon Castle
School: Covington (Ga.) Newton
Status: Signed with Connecticut
Scouting Summary “Stephon Castle plays with a great pace. Has good positional size for a wing. Comfortable on the ball, in the half-court. Hunts his spots on the floor, and attacks them. Is strong on the ball, can take a bump, and get to his spots. The shot can get a little flat, but he is able to still affect the game. Very good in passing lanes. Average to above average athlete, but has a toughness about him. Can touch the paint. Attacks rim with purpose.”

Not only has Ross looked more athletic and appears to have a more well-rounded game in his senior year clips, but he also plays with a lot more aggressiveness and confidence this year than he did in the (albeit, limited) film I saw from his junior year. I am really excited about this kid coming to Storrs.

The year Jayden Ross had earned his move to No. 41 in the final update. Listed at 6-foot-7, the UConn signee is a rangy defender. He shot 39.8 percent from three while finishing numerous highlight-reel dunks on the NIBC this season with Long Island (NY) Lutheran.

When looking at projected 2024 NBA drafts, Castle is generally in the top 20 and is a lottery pick in a couple. He and Clingan as on most if not all lists.

Looking like a starter for the defending champs, at least by year end, as they repeat even though they're playing the youngest lineup in NCAA Championship history........................
