What are the Florida Gators without Colin Castleton? We’re about to get our first returns on that, as Florida visits Arkansas on this Saturday.
The obvious is that Florida will be radically different without their do-everything big man, presumed out for the year with a broken right hand. Jason Jitoboh should get a much larger share of Florida’s minutes at center, and the Gators will probably also play some small-ball lineups with Alex Fudge as their tallest player. That alone will be a dramatic departure from Castleton patrolling the paint and attacking the rim for 30+ minutes per outing.
