NBA Draft: Comparing Mario Hezonja and Justise Winslow

Adaptability

This mostly is an evaluation of how each player would adapt to Orlando, and further, how well their respective games will translate to the next level.

For Winslow, the matter will simply be integrating himself with an NBA offense and finding ways to exploit his immense athleticism.

Hezonja is a creator, but others often create Hezonja’s shots. He is not really an opportunist, but his game will be more heavily dependent upon half-court brilliance.

Winslow will run and fill passing lanes, if he is not leading the transition brigade with the ball in his hands. The fact he is a domestic NCAA product bodes well, too.

It is much easier to imagine Winslow fitting into Scott Skiles schemes, especially after he learns NBA help-side defense.

Advantage: Winslow
