Justise Winslow. 3. player. 38. If Justise Winslow lands himself a spot on the Orlando Magic roster it would be huge for his career and the Magic organization. <p>For one, Winslow has the physical tools necessary to be a premiere perimeter and post defender at the small forward position. His quick feet and active hands allow him to shut down guards trying to get to the basket, while his long wing span give him that extra length to get out on shooters. Additionally, Winslow has a big enough frame to guard the best of the best small forwards in the NBA. His physical tools would be an immediate upside for the Magic.</p> <p>However, if the Magic are looking for a little extra scoring next to Elfrid Pyaton and Victor Olapdipo then Winslow isn’t the guy they should be going after. He struggles to score down the stretch as most of Duke’s scoring was eaten up by Jahlil Okafor. But with time, there is no reason to think Winslow can’t develop his jump shot and gain a better handle on the basketball to make him a threat on the offensive end.</p> <p>I see Orlando taking Winslow 3rd overall in the Draft this year.</p>. SF. Duke
