Which one do you like more, and why?

I'm curious what the argument is for Winslow over Johnson.....

Offensively, i think Johnson has the edge; better off the dribble/shot creator.

Defensively - who's better?? I haven't seen too much of them defensively.

Winslow.

Better passer/playmaker/court vision
Better fundamental defense
Better 3 point shot.

Stanley Johnson
Better build.

Winslow was the #2 doberman of the FIBA team behind Marcus Smart. Smart added pressure. Winslow cut all of the passing lanes. He's also a stellar man-defender.

Neither player is a great shot creator or ball-handler. I think it's a weak crop for wing players.

Both are very good athletes, but not elite. We have been spoiled by stellar, elite wings for decades.

It's close, Winslow was my #2 prospect and Johnson 3rd. It changes from week to week with these two. Johnson has a alpha mentality, I think he'll avg more in the league and someone you can run your offense through. Winslow let's the game come to him, but can be aggressive when he has too.

Is Winslow really 6'6''? He looks shorter than advertised.

ya, i had a feeling that Winslow was the better defender from watching their Draft Express Scouting Vids. From other highlights tho, Johnson looks good off the dribble. Looks to have good ball handling skills. I think he has a lot of potential off the dribble/shot creating. Of course, we'll see how that translates to the college level ; I'm always weary of how much off the dribble skills translate after highschool.

Johnson also has better height and length. Winslow is barely 6'6 without that fro.

I have Johnson ahead of Winslow. I'll be watching their D, and off the dribble game closely tho.

Both Winslow and Johnson look a good inch shorter than what they're listed as, to me. They both have big fros. Winslow is listed 6'7 and probly barely 6'6. Johnson listed 6'8 barely 6'7

I disagree about Stanley Johnson's ball-handling ability.

Pay attention to it. It's no different from Julius Randle.

Straight line drive

Or

Change of direction, then straight line drive.

He can't do it on the fly. He can't do it twice on the drive. This is how he gets charge calls.

ah, see, I've only seen so many vids of Johnson. In those he used nice dribble moves.. We'll see how it looks in college.. Haven't seen him play yet.

I do pay verrry close attention to dribble moves, and scrutinize them. I remember from his vids that he mostly uses a dominant hand cross over to get to the rim. but he also had some nice stepback moves. a couple REALLY nice step back moves.

While I appreciate the stepback moves, that leads me to my next point, his shot form.

Low release point. Low trajectory. Flat. Streaky, inconsistent shooter.

Stanley can create off the dribble a lot more then Winslow but Winslow is better off the ball.

Stanley will bump a defender and use an occasional spin move.

It's weird really. I don't see Stanley as a dynamically skilled player. People got on Wiggins last year for lacking ball-skills. Stanley has less than that.

Nor does he jump as high or have the same hands or wingspan.

What he does have is an incredible physique and motor.

But, I don't see any "power wings" doing well in the NBA. The best case was Gerald Wallace, but his first step was devastating and he exploded above the rim, nevermind his propensity to grab offensive rebounds.

Maybe that's a best case scenario, but even then, I still don't see it.

What's worse, is knowing that Winslow doesn't have as much perceived upside as Stanley. Stanley is absolutely raw and yet, filling up a stat sheet. Winslow can pass a bit, spot up behind the arc, and be a doberman. Two-way role player because of his lack of ball-skill. He too has a great motor, just not on the same level as Stanley.

Frankly, if I had a top 3 pick, I'd stay away from both. This is a bigman draft first.

Yeah Winslow is nice prospect with our Houston pick if he falls that low.

Great 3&D prospect who'd fit nicely with Randle. If we get a top 5 we definitely need to go for a C.

No way winslow lasts until the Houston pick unless Houston somehow winds up in the lottery.

Winslow. If Winslow develops his handle more, you pretty much have an Iguodala.

Winslow game reminds me of Trevor Ariza. Tough Defense, Plays the passing lane, great finisher. He just needs to further develop that outside shot.

Winslow is a far more physical player than Ariza, but I don't think he will ever become as good a spot up 3 pt shooter as Ariza. I don't really see the comp. Winslow reminds me of Caron Butler. Not much lateral shake, but prototypical size for the 2/3, can develop into an average shooter, good physical defender, explosive in straight lines and vertically.

I think of Winslow and Johnson as power wings that can play 3/2.

Winslow is exactly the kind of player that works well with a ball-dominant PG. His motor isn't reliant on offensive touches, and he thrives on defense.

Stanley has a great motor as well, but he thrives on transition play first before the defense.
