It's good to see these present and former players interviewing on Lakers Nation. You get to ask Laker-centric questions that the general media doesn't ask. Good job, Trevor.

Castleston's self awareness is excellent. A high offensive IQ too - very underrated skill especially for a young center

I really like how enthusiastic and in depth he talks about the game definitely a keeper for development

Excited to see him at summer league and see the improvement

Trev, good job. Good questions from you and Sean. Colin Castleton seems determined. I like that. More interviews, less gossip. Lakers don't have a coach. Who runs the gym in El Segundo? Is it Rob or Phil Handy? Why don't you get that guy on.

They should hire Cassel

I got to see him live at a G league game he was really good I loved watching him really skilled and physical too

@markcepeda8144

27 күн бұрын

Liked him too ( and some other young guys) just needed more strength 😊

I like that Colin is talking about working on both his 3 point/outside shot and also that he is in the gym working on bulking up both his upper and lower body. I feel like because of the fact that Colin can handle the ball and pass well, if he could remove his short coming from his game. Those shortcomings of course being his thin body frame and lack of outside shooting ability. If he could and is actually bulking up and getting proficient enough at his 3 ball to where he is a threat from outside as well as being a defensive threat inside. That's the turning point when he will become an asset and very sought after athlete not only for the Lakers but in the N.B.A in general as well. Having the benefit of being able to watch and talk to a defensive and offensive great/nightmare like A.D definitely helps but is not enough to place you in the upper echelon alone! Let's be honest, Colin definitely sounds like he has the intelligence to become a great Center. And we know that he has the spirit and the drive to be a valuable teammate. What he is lacking is bulk as well as outside shooting ability! If he can negate those problems then he can kiss Summer as well as the G League goodbye and focus on getting nightly minutes and being an impactful part of the Purple and Gold. As well as get paid a heck of a lot more money in general.

At the very least, Lakers need to lock Castleton down with another two-way deal.

This was a great interview!

I like his game ,he better fit than Jay Huff he needs some minutes

Great to see Colin hopefully this season you unleash

Intelligent player with tonnes of potential ❤

Don't sleep on Castleton. Dude can be a great back up center. Dude can rebound and has a very hig IQ for a center. If he gains some weight he can be Vlade Divac 2.0

Awesome!

Ok so what exactly does CC lack ? What does he need to do to get playing time? Besides some outside shooting??

Lezzgo Colin lakers❤

Good interview. I feel a little better about the prospect of Jaxson Hayes going to free agency and having the Lakers take a big in the draft like Edey or Daron Holmes as a big off the bench or starter with AD. We need a big body to give some resistance to the Joker and make him work on D and a big who can shoot the 3 as another look.

"Thank you verry much" our Boy was channeling a little ELVIS there! haha. Great interview! Always love hearing about the experiences of the Rooks!

Rooting for Castleton! Hoping he averages at least 15 minutes a game this season at the 5 and maybe he plays a little at the 4 position. Championship basketball for the Lakers has historically been when the Lakers have a "big" team that has numerous key players in that 6'10 to 7'2 range.

Bigs should be focusing more on their post moves, inside scoring and rebounding than 3 pt shooting - if you're 7 ft+, your advantages are inside scoring, rebounding and blocking shots, not 3 pt shooting. It's a waste of height to have 7 footers standing around the 3 pt line instead of scoring and rebounding inside.

Give him playing time. Thank God Ham is gone. He died with small ball .

The Lakers need to get Zach Edey, you need a big body to put on Jokic.

Colin Castleton, all he needs is to play better Defense.

On espn he is listed as 250lbs if that’s not accurate what’s his true weight then if people are complaining about his mass? If it is his true weight then it’s reasonable. Not everyone is Stephen Adams or joker

We have a guy like that.. friken Ham never played him..those guys are exactly the same.. and how in the world can the Celtics have 2 300 million dollar players and an all-star backcourt plus the unicorn.. plus Al horford who I know anit playing for the minimum.. and they say we're over the cap.. we don't have one 300 million player..I call BS

Hopefully, the next coach will ACTUALLY GIVE CASTLETON SOME MEANINGFUL PLAYING TIME!!!!! Dumb-as-a-rock Hamm wasted the skills of Colin and Max Christie!!! Both of these young players have great attitudes and are going to be very good players IF GIVEN THE OPPORTUNITY either with the Lakers or another team.

I see like a Myers Leonard/ Larry Nance Jr kind of hybrid in this kid
