Winslow will never be a star, or even a elite defender. Sorry but to me, it's Stanley Johnson. The dude is a 18 year old Mature thinking Monster. His Body at 18 makes Lebron at 25 look like Manute Bol's. He is a winner as well. I really think teams who are dismissing Johnson are missing the boat. If he fall anywhere near the 8th or 9th spot...some team is gonna get a HUGE Steal.



Johnson is a winner but Winslow is not? So I guess duke didn't just win the championship or anything. No big deal

I think Winslow-Randle-Clarkson moving forward would be awesome. Sign a young SG or C like Danny Green and DeAndre Jordan.


Clarkson
Green
Winslow
Randle
Jordan


This team going forward is ideal IMO


We won't have enough cap space to sign both Green and Jordan, but I agree that this team going forward would be promising, and fits my ideal of accumulating enough assets to convince the big star free agents in '17 to come.

I would keep Randle and pair him with either Towns or Okafor in this scenario and then thank my lucky stars that we had that kind of young frontcourt foundation for years to come!

He's the same guy that thinks Clarkson is a scrub.

Just smile and wave.

Johnson vs Winslow is interesting. They're both potentially elite defenders, but leave a lot to be desired on the offensive end. I'd have to give the slight edge to Johnson since I think he's going to be able to effectively defend the 2-4. The kid has such a strong lower body and quick feet.

And Winslow with his quicker feet will be able to defend 1-3.

That's true, Winslow is certainly better suited to defend NBA level guards. I think both of these kids will be great though and have just as much potential as the guys slotted at going in the top 3.

Winslow has shown better ball-handling than Jimmy Butler, Kawhi Leonard, and Paul George had shown early in their careers. He's not an elite ball-handler but the skillset is there.

Can't wait for the draft combine and private workouts. That's where we'll get a clear picture of who we're most likely to draft. The biggest holes to fill are C and SF.

If he dribbles that high in traffic in the NBA he'll get stripped quicker than you can say "TSA".

I think Johnson has far more bust potential. I think that Winslow simply has a knack for knowing how to put the ball in the basket at a young age, so I have far less doubt about him on the offensive end.

Exactly. Not only is Winslow an elite defender in college with a high motor but he was a consistent 3pt threat with good ball handling. I see Winslow becoming a left handed Jimmy Butler.

I like Stanley, still think his game will translate the best out of all the SFs in the draft. He plays with a controlled pace. He's not frantic. His jumper is there and it's improving. The one major flaw I see in Stanley are his small hands; which results in him struggling at the rim. That's one of the knocks I had on Randle before the Lakers drafted him. I'm not saying small hands renders someone useless, but it does make it harder to get accustomed to the size and length of the NBA.

Hezonja is by far most talented. Most people just haven't seen enough of him.

Randle scored exceptionally well in the painted area in terms of FG%, especially at the rim.

I was sold on Winslow midway through the season. When Okafor went out and missed a game or two, Winslow put the team on his back and carried them to wins. It reminded me so much of Randle at Kentucky when WCS went down with injury. That is the attitude I want to see on a rebuilt Laker team.

Yeah, Winslow has become my favorite guy in the draft. I take Russell or towns ahead of him based on star player ceiling, but I just feel Winslow is going to be one of those guys contenders have or covet.

Hizonja. This would be a ballsy Jerry West type draft pick. He is a crazy athletic version of Kyle Korner that scores in more of a variety of ways.

Another SF I'd like to draft is Justin Anderson. There's a possibility he'll be there with the #27
