Florida Gators forward Colin Castleton had himself a game in the Saturday matchup against No. 20-ranked Missouri with 16 points to go with season-highs in rebounds (13) and assists (6). He also got his first double-double since Nov. 24 against Xavier.
He has surpassed the 1,000-point mark, making him the first Gators player to do such since Chris Chiozza back in 2018. He is the second Florida transfer in program history to Florida transfer to ever have 1,000 points at UF with the only other being Dorian Finney-Smith.
Castleton came into the contest needing just 11 points to reach that mark, and obviously has not failed to rise to the occasion. Florida defeated Mizzou in weekend action, winning 73-64 to move to a 10-7 overall record.
How he continues to make an impact as a player who projects as a strong future NBA player will be something to watch.
