1. Colin Castleton is the guy in this group to look out for he can really move pass and defend for a 7 footer. Second only to Kalkbrenner who withdrew in technical defensive accumen. Might get “bigboyed” on occasion cuz he’s skinny but he knows exactly what to do. Elite PnR feel and weakside helper.

   Best defensive big across all coverage types to me… Lively can stay in front a touch better on pure tools but he also has no idea how to time his switches tbh. Castleton gets all the helpside concepts and how the seams on the defense come together. I think he gets drafted but would be a twoway target 100%

   Honestly Castleton is gonna put Lively to shame in that workout as far as the little things go. Cuz Lively can shoot in an empty gym. But can he play four different defenses over 10 possessions. Nah he’s not that seasoned. Also Castleton is a short roll quick decision guy and solid passer.

   For Lively of you wanna be in the running at 19 you better DOMINATE Castleton. Straight up. That’s why they are bringing Castleton in if you wanna impress us do it vs someone who can put up a legit challenge. Otherwise the Nets will have you.

   I like Kayontae and Kaluma and Wilson… you can see a them with this group big body wings (not just heightwise these dudes are built strong). But it’s Castleton that has me 👀 👀 👀

2. I’m hoping Kobe Bufkin falls to us. Otherwise, take the BPA.
