Throughout the season, he achieved 14 double-doubles.
The 24-year-old also appeared in 16 games during the NBA regular season, averaging 1.5 points in 3.7 minutes per game. He was waived by the Lakers on October 19.
In his final year at Florida, Castleton earned All-SEC First Team and All-SEC Defensive Team accolades for the 2022-23 season, leading the conference and ranking third nationally with an impressive average of 3.0 blocks per game.
