I'm curious as the the impact that he measurements will have on his evaluation? We know that he measured at 6'6, 229 without shoes in 2014, with a 6'10 wingspan. He will likely be listed at least 6'7 in the NBA.

Will his athletic testing make or break it for you? Because I feel like regardless of how he measures out, we have seen that he has terrific in game speed, excellent leaping ability, and elite lateral quickness for a player his size. What specifically will you be looking for at the combine?

I just basically meant height. Just because I was saying in my hypothetical scenario he'd be our 3 man of the future. 6'6 seemed a little small for the position so was just curious if he grew during his freshman year.

He is long so he could make up for whatever height is lacking with his length and athleticism.

That makes sense. I think the good thing for Winslow is that he actually measured at 6'6 barefoot, so he should be at least comparable height to many SFs. But, as you said, I think his strength and athleticism can make up for most size disparities.

I also think that he is plenty quick to guard the 2 in the NBA. I guess given that you already have Oladipo this isn't a concern for you. But, as a Duke fan, I found Winslow's quickness, especially laterally to be his most impressive athletic attribute.

Winslow is 6'7 in shoes, with a 6'10 wingspan and a 230 chiseled frame, the guy is more than big enough to play the SF, but he can defend any perimeter position, so it doesnt matter, he can play the SG too.

the love this kid is receiving is immense right now. I heard somebody say they'd even take him number one in June.

he is much better than Kawhi at the same stage of their careers, much better, and although he has not Kawhi's freakish length, but he is a much better athlete than Kawhi.
his potential is higher than been Leonard.

I've seen enough. I take Winslow after the bigs, 3rd. He's clearly the most appealing wing in this draft.

I would still take Mudiay ahead of him, but before Russell.

I like Winslow but I very highly doubt he'll be better than Kawhi.. Kawhi is turning out to be a super star

i have a feeling he is going to go off tonight and surprise anyone that didnt already know how good he can be. One player with the potential to take over a game he would be the one.

If Detroit won the #1 pick, they'd definitely consider him, considering Towns and Okafor wouldn't be an ideal fit next to Drummond.

you don't think they trade down to save money? or trade the pick for a vet?

At this point in time, Winslow is considered to be in the top 4 pick. I suppose they would consider trading down in that event. It's the same FO that just dropped Josh Smith like a sack of potatoes, so who knows?

I think Towns is a good fit next to Drummond.
