Seriously? If you count Wade and Harden as wings then Russell is too. Hes the same size as them and plays the same combo guard role. There's been plenty of better stretches than Justise's. The guy barely scored double figures, if even that, half the time down the stretch. Great all around games but come on now.

I actually like Winslow a lot and take him 5th, but you're really stretching his offense while downplaying Mudiay's. Offense will always be favored in this league as far as players to build around go. Which is why guys like Melo, Curry, and Harden are max players. Justise has nice offensive upside and nobody says he cant improve, but Mudiay has him beat everywhere on offense right now, unless you count Justise's wide open spot up threes to say he's a better shooter.

Ill keep sayin it: Give me Rose, Curry, Manu, Harden, and Westbrook over Jimmy B, Draymond, Kawhi, Ariza, and Ibaka.


he's not as good as harden, wade or durant.... i just said those were the only guys that were better as a freshman....

russell is in the discussion also... but he has his own issues.... which i'm not gonna get into... i'll just say it's close between winslow and him...

the china stats are hard to get anything meaningful out of but.. mudiay's numbers are not appreciably any better than will bynum's... for better or worse.... the brightside is that will bynum was in most years a decent bench pg in the nba... the downside is that it's will bynum... and if will bynum is shooting better inside than mudiay.. alarm bells should be ringing...

What a troll.. When I read between the lines and encrypt this hidden message sent to us, he implies we will ship Winslow to Kings for Cousins 8-)

And just when I was getting enamored with Mudiay.....

If true, I hope for sanity purposes DickGrayson ups the ante in promoting Winslow as the pick. I would start it with this.....

http://nypost.com/2015/05/15/dukes-winslow-bonds-with-carmelo-says-he-can-be-great/

Image

Justise Winslow, Duke’s athletic combo forward coming off a national title, said he feels it would be no problem fitting in alongside Carmelo Anthony despite their similar positions. And they have had no problems bonding, either.

Last week, Winslow attended a Yankees game with his new Roc Nation agency and sat with Anthony and his young son, Kiyan.

“Of course Carmelo loves playing for the Knicks — I know he loves playing for the Knicks,’’ Winslow said Friday at the NBA draft combine. “Our conversation wasn’t how I’d fit in with the Knicks. Our conversation was the adjustment from college to the league and how my workouts were going. He’s being a mentor for a similar guy, similar path, national champion freshman year. It’s great to have a guy like that who accomplished so much to look out for you.’’

Winslow, who has been as high as five on recent mock drafts, met with the Knicks on Wednesday. His big NCAA Tournament lifted him into the Knicks’ conversation. Their pick will be no worse than No. 5, but a lot of speculation exists they would trade down if they fell that far.

“I was picking their brain on what direction the team is going in,” Winslow said. “They have a lot of different ways to go in the offseason.”

The biggest priority is adding a big man to the roster, and Winslow measured just 6-foot-6 ¹/₂ at the combine despite playing the 4 spot down the season’s stretch. The Knicks don’t have a traditional power forward or center under contract for next season, so Winslow, a left-hander in the mold of James Harden, isn’t a big need.

However, Winslow countered: “We’re both very versatile.

“You can look at Carmelo and how he fit in with Team USA there with LeBron [James], KD [Kevin Durant]. They all functioned well, all versatile guys,’’ Winslow said. “I definitely feel Carmelo and I can play alongside each other.’’


Winslow helped spearhead Duke’s surprising run to the national championship and said his “leadership’’ is among his best qualities.

“I have size, athleticism, defense and I’m somebody who can be thought of as a lockout defender with an ability to score different ways,’’ Winslow said. “My versatility at both ends can be very useful for any organization. I have a lot of potential down the road to be a great player on both ends of the court.’’
