Winslow v Kaminsky

Honestly. I don't see the fascination with Winslow.

To me, he is just a bigger Marcus Smart.  I think he'll be a solid player, but I don't see star potential.

But then I could be wrong.  Wouldn't be the first time guys have had pretty 'meh' rookie stats and developed into All Stars.  Kyle Lowry, Joe Johnson, etc.

Do people think Winslow is a sure fire star though? I get that he is just a rookie and already is probably an above average player defensively, but personally his offense may be a bit worse than I would have guessed. He averaged 6.5 points in 28.5 minutes with pretty bad shooting numbers *42% from field, 27% from 3.

Also I really hope we can avoid turning this into a thread on smart. I am just asking if people think Winslow will be a star.

I do.  He's a top 5-10 defender right now.  He just barely turned 20.  He's got all the talent in the world to be a star in the league.  His offensive production will just go up, but he's a game changer on the defensive side of the ball regardless even if he doesn't produce offensively.

I hope people are this optimistic with Marcus Smart.

Somehow, I doubt that Jordan is spending countless hours studying prospects.

Or any hours for that matter.

Yeah.  This one is on Rich Choe, not Jordan.

Lol same. Literally the exact same description. But since Winslow is on a different team, the future is rosy.

Yet somehow, we have returned to Marcus Smart.
