NBA Rookie Power Rankings: Porzingis, Towns Battle For Top Spot Through 20 Games

6. Justise Winslow, Miami Heat

Stats: 6.3 points, 5.1 rebounds

A lot of what Justise Winslow does well – play the passing lanes, check the opposing team’s best offensive player and just be in the right spot at all times – doesn’t show up in the box score or stat sheet. He’s just one of those glue guys that every team needs to be successful. And the fact that Winslow is still a rookie and already that type of player is amazing.

There are still questions about his jump shot and overall offensive game, but that’s some thing that could be developed. Most rookies aren’t great on the defensive end from Day 1. Winslow is, and is a perfect fit for the Miami Heat. Look at the Kawhi Leonard arc as a potential one for Winslow’s future.

He’s that talented. He just needs to continue to improve his game.
