UConn freshman Stephon Castle expected to soon declare for NBA Draft: 'What a lottery pick looks like'

I had my doubts he’d be a lottery pick early in the season after coming back from the injury. He showed some flashes of ability but I thought he’d be like a lot of 5 stars that simply aren’t one and done lottery picks.

The kid simply took off and his all around game was a joy to watch. BE FOY more times than Melo, a key piece of a stacked championship team as a freshman, defensive nightmare for opposing teams, and an excellent teammate and person.

Lucky to have had him. Looking forward to following a hopefully long NBA career.

I had my doubts too in the sense i thought the injuries were going to hold him back but he got healthy and took off. Hes going to be terrific at the next level. Best pro we`ve put in the league in years but watch out for DC. If he ever develops a consistent jumper he could be a 20/10 guy.

I hope he goes to Charlotte, because I live right outside of Charlotte.

I really think that any teams that pass on Castle in the draft are really going to regret it. He is a sure thing eventual NBA starter and believe he can turn into a Jimmy Butler like player. He has all the tools, plays both ends, and is just a dog out there. Gonna miss watching him play. What a player.

I actually think Charlotte is a pretty good fit alongside Miller and Ball

No. But he’s gonna get paid like he is. And cous never won a natty

Indeed, this particular plumber did win the 1947 championship as a member of Holy Cross. An 8-team tournament in which he beat Oklahoma in the title game.

I'm sure Bill Simmons has a book on it.

They have Poole though

Agreed. They are truly stuck with Poole... what a tar pit of a contract.
