Now we need to figure out who is our Silas Deane and Roger Sherman...Stephon Castle: "My only regret is that I have but one year to give to my Huskies."
I agree. Stephon comes in as perhaps the most complete freshmen to play at UConn. And he’s only getting better and better - scary.Stephon may be the best player on the team. However, experience goes a long way too which is what make Tristen and Cam so exceptional.
I really wish Stephon would stay one more year for obvious reasons. And I'll say it. I am not a fan of one-and-done in college basketball for a lot of reasons. Granted we have been benefitting from the portal and I guess that is similar to a one-and-done situation but I don't think it's good for the sport overall.
Tough to do that to more than one player at a time.Some of this is that defensive focus by other teams has to be on Alex, Cam and Newt so he is not their primary focus. Their coach doesn’t say they have to deny him the ball the way they just did that to Cam. Gives him a bit of room to create.
And I don't even think we've seen "peak Castle".Castle is getting better in front of our eyes as the season progresses!!!
