It’s his year to make a move!

i think he will step up and be solid

Great Breakdown, but his on the ball defensive skills will be solid not to the level of Q, but he was top level defender.

Many times Q hurt the team as much as helped. Castaneda has a chance to be much more steadier.

I agree. X will take better care of the ball, but won't make the splash plays that Q did. It's an acceptable trade-off, I think.

With the increase in min, I think he will be a solid player and see more improvement.  He is tough and comes from a winning program in HS.  He should set up real nice in his SR year

Dawson may spend some time at PG too

While that didn't show up in the number of steals (1.1 per game in conference play), or the number of steals per foul given (0.6:1), it would be interesting to see an opponent's field goal percentage when being guarded by Casteneda - unfortunately that's next level metrics that nobody has access too, so the eye test may be as good as anything available.

I asked somebody, who asked somebody who had access to stats like that and the answer given was 30.8%

IF thats true sounds close to Q, what was his number, as well as DC if you have access
