The Justise Winslow thread

[JDR720]

So, If Winslow is there at 8. Detroit likes Johnson. They have been said to be zeroing in on him. But that is probably who is in their range. I would think they might have Winslow higher. They are the same type player. Do you try and swap picks with Detroit to get Winslow? Send them our 1st and a 2nd for #8?

I wouldn't, Johnson and Winslow are pretty even for me. Johnson is probably a better fit for us than Winslow anyway IMO.

Do you think we even take Johnson? I figure if the rumors are true that he refused to workout for us that we don't take him. It would be more of, do we take Winslow or Booker.

Not working out didn't stop us from getting Vonleh, we were interested enough to try and get him to workout and interview him at the combine so i think its possible we take him.

So, when initial reports came out about Winslow possibly dropping the concerns were said to be shooting and height. I get the shooting issues, but how on earth is 6'6.5 w/shoes and a 6'10 wingspan a concerning height for an NBA 2/3? Any chance this is all bs from teams who want him to drop?

Time to lock this thread. I don't see Batum + MKG plus Winslow.

Hed still be a great value pick and would be awesome to have as a backup 2/3 over the next couple years and we can always trade the worse of him and MKG if we need to. He also helps hedge against losing Batum in free agency. There are other guys I want more, but if Winslow is the guy that falls I would be happy to take him.
