The glue guy who made Xavier tougher in 2018-19
Castlin was a 6-foot-4 graduate-transfer guard for Xavier in the 2018-19 season who brought veteran poise, defensive bite, and timely shot-making rather than gaudy volume. He started 24 games, averaged 4.3 points, 3.4 rebounds and 0.8 assists per game, and delivered in March with 10 points and a game-saving block in Xavier’s Big East Tournament win over Creighton. The fit? A coach’s favorite: versatile, reliable, physical, and clearly willing to do the dirty work when the moment gets loud.
