2015 NBA Draft: The Five Most Head-Scratching Moments of the NBA Draft

How Did Justise Winslow Fall To The Miami Heat At No. 10?

A lot of Mock Drafts had Duke’s Justise Winslow going no further than the No.6 pick of the Sacramento Kings.

When the New York Knicks had Winslow staring them square in the face at No. 4 they decided to go the European route and take 7-foot-1 Kristaps Porzingis to be a post fit in their triangle offense.

Orlando could have taken Winslow, but they took 6-foot-8 shooting guard Mario Hezonja instead.

That is when you started to scratch your head and wonder how far Winslow was going to fall. Sacramento took Willie Cauley-Stein from Kentucky which is not a bad pick at all.

Denver taking Emmanuel Mudiay to be their point guard made a lot of sense also because they are revamping and have current point guard Ty Lawson on the trading block.

Once Detroit went with the chalk pick for them and took Arizona’s Stanley Johnson at No.8 and the Charlotte Hornets took Frank Kaminsky at No.9, Winslow ended up falling to the best place for him.

The Miami Heat snagging Justise Winslow at No.10 is a steal. It puts you in the mindset of past drafts where you have seen players like Paul Pierce or Caron Butler fall this far down and be very productive players.

Miami needs Winslow also because there is uncertainty with what is going to happen with Dwyane Wade.

If Wade does decide that he needs to move on because he is not going to get his proper payday after sacrificing his bank account again and again for the greater good of the Heat, Winslow would be a nice player to take over that spot.

Best case scenario is that Wade stays in Miami and is able to pass his pearls of wisdom on to Justise Winslow.

After you finish scratching your head to figure out how Justise Winslow ended up in Miami, you have to look in amazement at the fact that he is in Miami.

This is one of those head scratchers for the good, and everyone from the fans to the NBA will benefit.
