Official RC - Stephon Castle

[Above the Rim]

Seeking some help about Stephon Castle's rookie cards.

There are some 2023 cards that show him in his college uniform, but he wasn't yet a rookie. Are these considered THE rookie cards of Castle's ? Or are these considered pre-rookie cards and less desirable?

Then there are his 2024 cards that also show him in college uniform. Most listings say "rookie card". These appears to more plentiful and have more varied card options. Are these THE rookie cards? Or are these 2024 cards considered 2nd year cards ?

Thanks
