The Magic signed a former Lakers inside star. He was just cut by the Raptors not long ago?

According to the NBA trading log of the US website RealGM, the Orlando Magic have signed Collin Castleton, who was previously in free agency with a training camp contract containing Exhibit 10. He will also have the opportunity to win himself the opportunity to stay in the team through his performance in preseason and training camp.

Castleton was born in May 2000. He is 25 years old, 208cm tall and weighs 113kg. He is the undraft in the 2023 NBA Draft. Although he was a undrafter, Castleton immediately received a two-way contract from the Los Angeles Lakers after the draft, which also shows that his personal ability has been fully recognized. In the NBA arena, in addition to the Lakers, Castleton has also played for the Memphis Grizzlies, Toronto Raptors and Philadelphia 76ers. In the NBA regular season, Castleton made a total of 42 appearances, averaging 11.7 minutes per game, averaging 3.5 points, 3.2 rebounds, 0.7 assists, 0.2 steals, and 0.2 blocks, 0.6 turnovers and 1.5 fouls, shooting percentage of 48.2%, three-point shooting percentage of 12.5%, and free throw shooting percentage of 79.5%. Castleton's playing time in the NBA has always been relatively limited, and he has never been able to show off his offensive talent, and his performance on the defensive end is very mediocre. Because of this, he was unable to get a stable contract and play for a certain team for a long time.

Caslton also went to several teams last season, and he had left footprints in the Grizzlies, Raptors and the 76ers. In the NBA regular season, Castleton made a total of 26 appearances, averaging 16.6 minutes per game, averaging 4.7 points, 4.7 rebounds, 1.1 assists, 0.3 steals and 0.4 blocks, and 0.9 turnovers and 2 fouls. His shooting percentage was 46.9%, three-point shooting percentage was 12.5%, and free throw shooting percentage was 76.3%. In the NBA Development League last season, Castleton represented the Magic's subordinate Osciola Magic, the Grizzlies' subordinate Memphis and the Raptors' subordinate Raptors' 905, with 29 minutes per game, with averaging 17.1 points, 9.5 rebounds, 2.9 assists, 0.8 steals and 1.2 blocks, and 2.7 turnovers and 2.2 fouls, with a shooting percentage of 53.9%, a three-point shooting percentage of 29.6%, and a free throw shooting percentage of 75%. Overall, Castleton performed well in the NBA Development League. He also has good scoring ability, rich offensive methods, and some passing and support characteristics. However, in the NBA, his performance was relatively average and he did not show too strong strength.

Caslton was just cut by the Raptors, so he is in a free agent state, which also shows that his performance has not been fully recognized by everyone. I wonder what kind of performance Castleton can perform in the next training camp and preseason. Can he show enough competitiveness and successfully get the opportunity to stay in the team? Or is he going to start his career from the NBA Development League next season?
