Should Blazers Draft UConn’s Stephon Castle?

The Portland Trail Blazers are eyeing a few top prospects for the 2024 NBA Draft, and among them are UConn guard Stephon Castle.

Castle, 19, helped UConn win its second straight national championship in his freshman season, and he has declared for the draft, making him a one-and-done prospect. However, if he were to join the Blazers, the fit would be questionable.

Here’s what Bleacher Report’s Jonathan Wasserman has to say about the potential fit:

The Portland Trail Blazers will be in a tricky spot at draft time with young guards who need minutes and contractual commitments to forward Jerami Grant and center Deandre Ayton.
