When the Sacramento Kings selected Willie Cauley-Stein with the sixth pick in the NBA draft I thought for sure Justise Winlsow would be a Detroit Piston.
Hours before the draft I thought Winslow would be the elite prospect that fell which is one of the reasons why I mocked him to the Pistons in my mock draft. I knew Mario Hezonja would be a guy that teams would fall in love with and I thought Cauley-Stein just made too much sense for the Kings to pass up. I also surmised that Winslow’s size and offensive skill-sets would turn some teams off that were drafting ahead of the Pistons and looking for a small forward–particularly on the offensive end where his handles and in-between game are severely lacking.
