ESPN has been dropping their top 100 rankings for the upcoming 2025-26 season. They're meant to be projections, so this isn't strictly based on what the players did last year. Stephon Castle came in at 99, and at first, I wasn't sure how much I cared until I looked at the rest of the list. They polled 150 reporters, editors, producers, and analysts to come up with it, too. That's a lot of wrong people.
Stephon Castle comes in at No. 99 on ESPN’s Top 100 list… insane disrespect for the reigning Rookie of the Year.
