Don't watch games, breh. George needed screen after screen to get away from Winslow and he dropped 32 points while taking 29 baskets.

Paul George already said he has the same naturaK defensive instincts and timing that him and Kawhi do. He's been matched up with numerous superstar wings and he holds them well and makes them make tough shots and he's only a rookie with 30 games in the NBA.

Act like holding a superstar scoring wing to 32 points on 29 attempts despite being an NBA rookie is some kind of knock against Winslow, brehs.



Don' watch games, breh.

Winslow is 19 and we have a team that is pretty damn great at developing shooters and expanding their range. If Winslow becomes even a decent shooter, every aspect of his game will improve dramatically. He takes smart shots, he's actually very good at attacking the basket, he's a coast to coast rebound threat, and a willing and unselfish passer.

At worst, Winslow is gonna be one of the best defensive wings in the NBA and a high motor guy that can defend offensive superstars or, if used off the bench, can be put on spark plug players.

But I wouldn't bet on it. Justise's stroke isn't even mechanically broken, its just relatively slow and inconsistent at times. He has great balance and strength when driving to the rim, has no problem finishing through contact plus surprisingly good touch around the rim.



It's not even the scoring but it's overall awareness, poise, and decision making that says he's gonna be an elite glue guy at worse. But I'm betting that in two seasons, that jumper straightens out and he suddenly looks like a blossoming star because all the great parts about his game are gonna become magnified.

Don't quote me and put words in my mouth :dahell:

I ain't say shyt about that man's offensive game. Stop typing so much.

What part of him only being 19 do y'all not understand? His offensive game is coming along. We have multiple scoring wings, so Winslow isn't gonna automatically get the touches needed to put up gaudy offensive numbers. He's basically being relegated to a spot up shooter right now. But even then, he has great floor vision, and has proven he's a pretty solid passer. Do y'all watch any Heat games to be saying what y'all are saying?

:dahell:


Draft a player no body wants breh and call him a steal. Then call him the next paul george and kawhi leonard. :pachaha:

I see it. I saw the same traits in Butler, George, and Kawhi even when they weren't shooting well (Kawhi and Butler) or didn't always use their gifts properly (George). He's gonna explode in two seasons as he's quietly groomed by the likes of Wade, Spo, and Riley.
This doesn't mean shyt though - certainly not at this stage. I fukks with the kid too; one of the very few Duke players I like. But you can't just make a thread like this, as if he's actually proven he will be better than the players taken above him - especially since the majority of those teams picked players that were of need and/or had more upside.

What the fukk is up this board lately and trying to microwave players before they're ready. :heh:

that nikka shootin 38% and can't crack the starting lineup over trash. they not happy.
They're happy enough with a guy with plenty of potential that can swing the 3 or 4 to compliment Drummond perfectly and eventually replace the other Morris twin in their rotation.

I don't think any team that skipped on Winslow really is wringing their hands together over him like that. He's a good fit in Miami (in that slow ass pace that hides all of that team's offensive issues....) and he's better than that corpse named Deng.

Can't that be enough?
