Just watched the Duke vs Utah game, best player on the floor was Justise Winslow. This dude is impressing me more and more.
I believe he is the real deal, what NBA player could be a nice comparison?
What would it take to get him on the Celtics? I think he could go as high as #5 or #6 now... maybe he even deserves to be higher.
Would be a great SF for us, just hope he grows another inch or two.
Looks a bit like Chris Partlow of the Wire, I think he is one cold blooded dude as well, just not evil
I have this gut feeling Winslow is #3 on Ainge's big board, with #1 being Okafor, and #2 being Towns. Ainge is hoping he slides down to that 7,8,9, 10 range. It will be tough to move up, but it wouldn't surprise me if Ainge does so to land Winslow.
Jimmy Butler is the first to come to mind as far as being a really good athlete and defender and rebounder, but also a guy who could become a 20 pt per game scorer. I know butler is more of a 2 but Winslow just has a similar type of game just at the 3.
Other than that maybe Luol Deng??
I too think that the dude is an absolute stud and think he is the #3 prospect in the draft, but those who are much better basketball minds than I have him at 5-7. This seems out of our reach in terms of trading up, but if we miss the playoffs and drop to pick #9 or 10 it could happen.
Bright side is there are some other really intriguing 3's and 5's that would be nice consolation prizes in my oppinion.
The obvious ones are Johnson, Hezonja, and WCS. Turner and Oubre also have a lot of potential but if any of the 4 (Winslow, Johnson, Hezonja, WCS) drop to the 8-10 range, I think Ainge has got to trade up.
