Could we say that out of all the players that were drafted in the top 10. Justise Winslow was drafted by the best team? Individually he’ll have to prove himself a little but in terms of “who will get a ring first out of the top 10 drafted Rookies?”. You’d probably say Justise Winslow, regardless of how many minutes he’ll get.
And Winslow doesn’t mind it. He’s just glad that he isn’t on a rebuilding team.
“I’m looking forward to going out there and winning championships,” he said. “That’s what this organization is about. We’ve got the tools, the talent to do it. Getting it all together with the core they have, finding ways to complement that and really impact the game. The Heat expect to win every year. That’s the kind of culture that coach [team president Pat] Riley has built and I’m happy to be there.”
“I just feel like I can impact the game in so many ways,” he said. “I’ll be there out on the court; I don’t know how many minutes. I don’t know if I’m starting or coming off the bench. Regardless, when I’m out there I’ll affect the game. Regardless of what team I was going to be on, I was going to be aggressive, play my game, and try to win. It definitely helps that the team I’m on is not in a rebuilding stage.”
I agree with the Department of Justise. I’d rather be drafted by a good team and rise up the ranks than being given the keys to a garbage franchise. Maybe if he proves himself, when DWade and Bosh hangs them up. It’ll be him and Hassan Whiteside taking the league on. That’s how I’m imagining it.
