UConn freshman Stephon Castle has actually stated for the 2024 NBA Draft.
Castle’s choice makes him the 2nd “one-and-done” gamer in program history after Andre Drummond went ninth general in the 2012.
The 19-year-old Castle, a 6-foot-6 guard from Covington, Georgia, balanced 11.2 points, 4.3 rebounds and 3 helps per video game for the Huskies throughout the 2023-24 season. He showed up his video game when it mattered most, scoring 21 points in their Final Four win over Alabama and after that 15 more as UConn declared a 2nd successive nationwide title by beating Purdue.
Castle, a luxury hire and McDonald’s All American, was the Big East’s Freshman of the Year.
That is now 3 members of the 2023-24 Huskies who have actually stated for the NBA Draft. Donovan Clingan and forward Alex Karaban have both revealed their objectives to leave. In Karaban’s case, he is preserving his college eligibility.
