✂️ Colin Castleton & Grayson Murphy

The cutting of Grayson Murphy he arrived twenty-four hours after signing the contract, an obligatory step in order to be able to sign a more profitable contract with i South Bay Lakers.

Finished undrafted after five seasons between Michigan and Florida, Colin Castleton he pays for the inability to contribute at the NBA level due to his size and height being inadequate for the role.

The excellent figures in the Summer League (13.7 points, 9 rebounds and 4.3 in 2023) and G League (16.4 points, 10.5 rebounds and 3.1 assists) are very far from those of the garbage time NBA (1.5 points and 0.8 rebounds). This year too, the good Summer League (11.0 points, 9.3 rebounds and 3.5 assists) was followed by a colorless Preseason (2.4 points and 3.2 rebounds in 13.7 minutes).

Castleton’s cut seems to be a prelude to the other’s return to the field two-way player Christian Koloko.
