Synopsis: In my latest at Sportsnet, I wrote about Justise Winslow joining Raptors 905 as the latest step toward a healthy NBA return.
Definitions are hard to come by for Justise Winslow.
During his eight-year NBA career, he has been everything: A lottery pick, the key prospect in a major trade, and salary ballast in another. A small forward by size, he has started playoff games at centre and been asked to handle point guard duties in key spots. If the NBA has gone positionless, Winslow is the first “six” — some amalgamation of the other five spots on the floor.
And so on Raptors 905 media day last week, when players were asked what position they play on questionnaires, Winslow was unsure. Winslow asked 905 general manager Luke Winn what he should put, and Winn suggested “all.”
“Point God” is what he ultimately went with.
