The physical test data is far more than expected. Will the back court of Connecticut freshman become the focus of the Rockets and Spurs?

The NBA officially released the physical test data of all players who participated in the joint trial training, and one of the big winners was definitely Stephen Castle, a freshman on the wing of the University of Connecticut who had been exposed to data errors before. His dynamic and static data seemed to be very impressive, and his comprehensive performance among all backcourt players was outstanding. From the perspective of static talent, Castel's naked feet reached 196.9cm in height, 95.3kg in weight, 205.7cm in arm span, and 259.1cm in standing touch height. Castel's height and arm span are actually very good, which can be said to have no shrinkage, even higher than expected. This also allows him to play in the third position in the NBA without any pressure.

Not only his static talent is good, but also his dynamic talent is excellent. His turn back running speed is top level, his four point movement in the three second zone is also quite good, and his 3/4 field sprint and bounce are also at the top level in the same position. Basically, we can think that Castle's agility and flexibility are excellent, and his explosive power and bounce are also careless. With Castle's flexibility and agility, as well as his excellent defensive ability and awareness, he should be able to become a very good outside defender on the defensive end. With his height, he can defend from the first position to the third position.

In this season's NCAA game, Castle played 34 games on behalf of the University of Connecticut, with an average playing time of 27 minutes. The average number of games was 11.1 points, 4.7 rebounds, 2.9 assists, 0.8 steals, 0.5 blocks, and 1.5 mistakes. The shooting percentage was 47.2%, the three-point shooting percentage was 26.7%, and the free throw percentage was 75.5%. Cassel's performance this season is quite eye-catching. Although the data is not particularly outstanding, it is also closely related to the role Cassel plays in the team and the overall strength of the University of Connecticut. In the case of limited ball power and low tactical position, Castle has fully played his ability. His performances in breakthrough, finishing, no ball movement, passing and defense are quite bright and impressive.

At present, the expected order of Castle is probably the first six. However, it seems that Castle should be one of the few backcourt players whose static data does not shrink or even exceed expectations among all rookies this year. Considering his maturity is not low, and his plasticity is very high, he has a full chance to grow into a top backcourt player. Maybe the Houston Rockets who hold the exploratory visa and the San Antonio Spurs who hold the No. 4 visa will seriously consider the possibility of selecting him.
