Justise Winslow

While his stat sheet doesn’t stand out like some of the others on this list, Justise Winslow has provided some solid minutes off the bench for the Miami Heat who currently sit in fourth place in the East.

Winslow was considered to be NBA ready on the defensive end and that has proven to be the case showing an ability to defend point guards, shooting guards, small forwards, and even some power forwards.

He also rebounds quite well for his position with over five rebounds per game. He regularly gets the most difficult assignment defensively when on the court and has performed well in that role.

He is only shooting 60% from the free throw line and 26% from three, both of which will need to improve if he is to be given a larger role in the Heat’s offense.
