Hit the weights very hard for a year and he would have a good shot to become one. He gets bullied around a lot down low.

I love his ability to rebound And defend, but his lack if a jumper is more than a bit worrisome.

I wonder why you like this one

I like d'angelo Russell a lot for the Sixers but I don't think it's the lock that many others do. I thought they would really consider Mudiay but the more I watch the more questions I have. He's described in a lot of places as an elite athlete at the Wall/Westbrook/Rose level. I don't see that at all, he finishes more like Tyreke Evans. Considering he doesn't shoot it well I don't see how you take a PG like that in the top 3.

he's already got issues with his quickness and speed. more weight will compound this (and may hurt his shot blocking, which is all he's got)

i watched youtube clips of him (sorry, "film") earlier today as i know nothing about him and that's exactly how i felt

he's not an insane athlete and if he gets to 215-220 i can see him being tyreke with a slightly higher vertical

If Winslow falls passed 5, then Miami has to ship deng, charlmers, and their #10 to whomever to snag him.

He's the best player in this draft

Ugh if they end up landing him

He's a perfect fit next to Randle. He can mask a lot of his deficiencies. A Randle/Okafor front court would likely need a lot of work defensively.





I love the idea of Boogie and WCS together. I'd want a TV crew to follow them around all the time.

And to a mock that doesn't have the Grizzlies taking a PF finally. All of them seem to keep forgetting that we drafted Jarnell Stokes last year. They obviously need to draft some more shooting, ideally on the wing. I think Jordan Adams is sort of set to be the starting 2 for next 5-10 years after the upcoming season.

Sounds nice (anything to see Chalmers GTFO), but what do they do at SG now?

Feels like Miami would honestly rather trade that pick for a more established player then get rid of players. DWade isn't getting any younger and Bosh just had a season ending issue he is trying to recover from.

They've already tried that "tall but can't shoot threes" PG experiment and already shipped him off

Winslow can be there SF/SG of the future.

Try to snag a CJ miles type in FA.

Winslow gives them the chance to have life after Wade with goran, Hassan, and bosh.

Free agency probably gives them better life post all that. They aren't rebuilding right now.
