Winderman: Justise Winslow Could be Rotation Player 'Right Away'

Interviews-wqam

"[Justise Winslow] is just a guy who gets how to play the game," Ira Winderman said to Omar Kelly and Miko Grimes on the Big O Show "who knows how to fit in, who does a lot of little things, and you could see why two weeks ago the Heat were really crowing about what they exited the draft with. They have a player who I think can step in and be a rotation player right away which is not always the case with NBA rookies."

Could any subtractions be on the horizon?

"I think [Pat Riley] knows after the season the Heat had last year people expect a playoff team," Winderman said. "So, if he sells off too much talent, and they get the injuries like they had last season, all the sudden they'll be back to playing their Tyler Johnson's and their James Ennis', and I don't think anyone in south Florida is going to put up with that for another year."
