Won't surprise if this is the pick. Huge upside at 19. Complete player with an NBA made body.

Justise Winslow II

Complete player!? :o He's a better athlete than he is a player.  The guy just dunks all the time, which seems to mesmerize people so much that they somehow overlook the fact that he's a horrible decision maker with a poor handle and an even worse shot.  He might have the physical tools to be a great player but he certainly doesn't have anywhere near the skill level necessary to be anymore than a dunker, really, as of right now.

Yeah. Complete player. Has a shot to be good on both sides, offensively & defensively. Just 19

Of course he's a perfect fit, another player that can't shoot!! They can all take shooting class together!! ;)

They once said Avery Bradley couldn't shoot. At 19.

Funny, they don't say that much anymore.

If Brown at his young age is already good enough to play NBA defense (in his first season I mean), that's pretty special in itself. 

Of course we have lots of wing defense already and lack shooting, but that can be sorted out over time. We have no real slashers on the team.  Turner is closest but to call him a slasher is a bit exaggerated. 

So, (if Brown is added), trade one of the non-slashing wing defenders, add a shooter in free agency and another shooter later in the draft, and there goes all the bemoaning about being overloaded with defense and lack of outside shooters.

Free agent shooters:  Batum, the French Orlando guy, etc...
Late draft shooters:  Beasley, Valentine, Korkmaz,  Prince,  D. Jackson (don't laugh could happen), T. Ulis (don't laugh could happen), Wade Baldwin (don't laugh could happen).
