His ceiling is Nikola Jokic
I hope the Lakers keep this guy around
He is the perfect height tall but not to tall to where he will get injured and can still shoot the ball hope it all works out 4 him
I think he can be a solid rotation center for us.
Get christian wood
I was just getting ready to cry about missing Lakers Basketball 😫 Thanks Lakers Nation, this really helps 😁💜💛
Colin has Vanilla Ice in his veins!
If he can start shooting some 3's , some eurosteps hopefully
I like Castleton game but I would like him to spend a year in the G league, he needs to get stronger and more physical to make the Lakers roster, overall he has the potential just needs more consistency 😂
Mega Reeves 💪🏽
Great interview I love how well spoken he is. He may be what the franchise need. He speaks with sureness. Also everyone speaking about Vando 3 point shooting. What needs to happen let him devolop an consistent mid range. And another thing we have two superstars who do not shoot the 3 good. Soon or later they will sag off Lebron and AD if they do not get more consistent
Sign him and Hodges!
Great interview! Really impressed by CC’s mindset. He’s humble, yet confident. Knows what he needs to work on to set himself up for a roster spot. He seems like a great fit and would add to the team’s chemistry.
Is it weird to say he has flashes of Pao, some similar movements? Of course Pao was better, but the talent is there for him to grow!!
I hope the kid can put 35 pounds of muscle on him get him work so he will get better at his game and bang bodies with the clown prince in Denver.
I always admire down to earth and real people like Castleton. Hope he become successful NBA story and stay as Lakers future ⭐️

He should be the offensive trigger in half court similar to how Kings use Sabonis. This will ensure player movement and get us away from ISO ball. He seems smart and coaches should hand him the playbook. Nuggets won a chip playing through the 5 spot.
Dude doesn't have much of a personality, but neither does Jokic, so it is what it is.
Colin's awesome man. I definitely want him on the roster. He does it all because he's a baller. He could help this year
Wow he's got all the answer doesn't he. Nice
Sign Wood, add this kid for the 15th spot, let's ball.
I still have no idea how TJD fell to 57 (to warriors 🤦🏻♂️) or how Castleton wasn’t drafted! Those 2 + Jaime Jaquez Jr & Sasser my 3 favorite seniors in the draft (Ben Sheppard who my Pacers took we shall see but still annoyed we passed on TJD/Castleton twice at 47/55!). They both should of been top45 picks imo.
Love this dude a very confident center I think he gonna surprise a lot of people do we
Really need woods?
Hoping the Lakers team to give this kid a break, lakers team must give to Castleton the 14 spot of the team to hastened his skills.
This is from Trevor’s hard work to give the Lakers Loyal to see the rooks and how they carry themselves
amazing stuff
He won't crack the rotation this year, maybe in a year or two. He just not physically ready
I hope Castleton can be given a spot on the Lakers. The Lakers for years have allowed talented centers to leave them. They won when they had 2 centers along with Anthony Davis. Once they lost their centers they haven’t competed against bigger teams like the Denver Nuggets
Great attitude. Let's hope we see a new version of Colin who's bigger, stronger with a decent mid range shot.
100 percent
Mr 100%
Hearing him talk says more about his bball IQ. Him and hodge know their paths in the league.
Love Castleton but I think I love hodge more he jus plays real hard and understands that he does two things well shoot 3s and defend.. I want both to make the team and get a chance to show what they can provide .. Castleton is more of a project but I think he can be like a Plumlee or Myers Leonard type which is a solid backup/starting quality center … Hodge really reminds me of KCP and he said he Models his game around his play .. love how he doesn’t take plays off and can shoot lights out
Hope lakers give this guy a chance
Kids got a good head on his shoulders. Keep working and he could become a legitimate rotation piece for us next year
Castleton has very good potential to be the versatile defensive-minded center that the Lakers need. I hope him and Hodge will eventually become apart of the regular roster and rotation.
100%
I like him! ☺️
Trevor, excellent guest to bring in, props! I hope the best for castleton. If you can get jerry west on, you d be the man.
Colin “the castle”
Hello there Trevor it's Darrell in SC… Hodge and Caselton is great but what if the Lakers can get Neemias Queta from the Kings he's a decent young center with a little experience??
