Top 5 richest Georgia HS basketball players based on NIL
3. Stephon Castle, G, Newton
Like Naasir Cunningham, Castle is a top-10 player in his class and poised to be a star at the college level. However, the Newton High School senior will be doing so a little sooner than Cunningham, as Castle is set to join the UConn Huskies this fall.
Castle’s stats have progressively gotten better during his time at Newton, and a 41-point performance last December against Duncanville High School was one of the highlights of a tremendous senior season that culminated in competing in the McDonald’s All-American game. The 6-foot-6, 205-pound combo guard also got to compete with USA Basketball in the FIBA U18 Americas Championship last summer.
Currently, the UConn commit has an NIL valuation of $427,000 which has held steady as a top-20 number among boys high school basketball players. With a strong social media following of 24,000 across his Instagram, Twitter and TikTok platforms as well, Castle is poised to soon cash in at the college level.
