Ability to play multiple positions

Mario Hezonja is 6-foot-7 while Justise Winslow is 6-foot-6. While Winslow may be more endowed with length (how much is unclear since Hezonja did not take part in the Combine measurements), it is Hezonja who has already demonstrated the ability to cover both wing positions, albeit in Europe.

Winslow is at best questionable as a 3-man, while Hezonja immediately receiving billing as a guy who can thrive at the 2 or 3 spot. That said, is either limited to just one position? Winslow is arguably more relegated to the shooting guard position.

Advantage: Hezonja
