Personal Bio/PreCareer Summary

A five-year college product, Colin Castleton played two seasons at Michigan prior to three strong campaigns at Florida. Blossoming into a full-time starter upon joining the Gators, Castleton concludes with career averages of 14.9 points, 7.8 rebounds and 2.5 blocked shots across 78 contests. Castleton's 194 career blocked shots rank third in program history, while his 2.5 blocks per game are a Florida record. He blocked 3.0 shots per game in 26 starts in 2022-23. Castleton was First-team All-SEC in 2023 after earning Second-team All-SEC honors in 2021 and 2022. Despite standing 6-foot-11 with a 7-foot-4 wingspan at 230 pounds, Castleton is a fluid and agile big. A gifted one-on-one shot blocker and a skilled team defender, he represented a critical defensive anchor throughout his time at Florida. His excellent reach allows him to contest shots everywhere on the floor, but his comparatively slow speed makes him more of a containment and drop-coverage big when not hovering in the paint. Offensively, Castleton operated primarily as a post-up big and roll man. He took 57.9 percent of his shots at the rim. Castleton attempted to add a three-point stroke to his game in 2022-23 but connected on just 2 of 15 attempts. His size and coordination make him a solid rim-runner and forceful finisher, but there's no offensive facet with Castleton excels. Evolving his physique could unlock Walker Kessler -esque utilization for the 23-year-old. Kessler's shot-blocking prowess is an extremely high bar, but he's also an underrated agile screener and crafty mover around the basket -- traits Castleton could work to emulate.

Plays in garbage time in return
CLos Angeles Lakers
March 28, 2024
Castleton (wrist) played the final 1:19 of Wednesday's 136-124 win over the Grizzlies and didn't record any statistics during his time on the court.
ANALYSIS
Castleton, one of the Lakers' three two-way players, was cleared to return to action Wednesday after he hadn't appeared at the NBA or G League level since Feb. 10 while recovering from a fractured right wrist. Even with Anthony Davis (knee) sidelined for the second leg of a back-to-back set, the rookie big man out of Florida remained out of head coach Darvin Ham's rotation, as the Lakers relied mostly on small-ball lineups when fill-in starting center Jaxson Hayes (31 minutes) was off the court.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Will work out for Golden State
CFree Agent
June 4, 2023
Castleton is among several prospects that will work out for the Warriors on Monday, Anthony Slater of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
The Warriors hold the 19th overall pick as their lone selection of the 2023 NBA Draft, and Castleton could be an intriguing option at that spot. He spent two years with Michigan in the Big Ten and three more with Florida in the SEC, but he took his game to a new level after joining the Gators, averaging 16.2 and 16.0 points per game in each of his last two collegiate seasons, respectively. Castleton is a proven scorer who could fight for rotation minutes as a rookie.
