Effective off bench Castleton had 13 points (4-10 FG, 5-5 FT), six rebounds, two steals and two blocks across 23 minutes off the bench in Tuesday's 75-64 loss to Arkansas. Impact This was the first game after nearly two weeks off for the Gators, and according to Brandon Carroll of Sports Illustrated, Castleton was only able to log one practice over that entire stretch. Omar Payne ultimately drew the start in Castleton's stead, but it was Castleton who ended up with more minutes and the much better fantasy day. Several outlets have suggested that Payne performs better when in the starting five, though regardless of the alignment moving forward, Castleton will almost always be the superior fantasy play. It remains to be seen if his usage will ramp up Saturday in a friendly matchup against Georgia.
