3) Justise Winslow

I love Duke’s Justise Winslow. He reminds me of a young Paul George/Jimmy Butler type player. He’s going to come into the NBA as a great defender and could project to have some serious three-and-d capabilities as he develops. Winslow shot 49 percent from the field and 41 percent from three during his lone season at Duke. He definitely benefited from Jahlil Okafor demanding double teams in the post, leaving him open from beyond-the-arc. It’s easy to see how Winslow could see the same success with Joel Embiid in the post.

Above all, Winslow projects as one of the safest prospects in the NBA Draft. He has a high floor and will likely be a solid NBA contributor. He may never be a number one option, but he could fit well as a second or third option to Embiid.
