What Winslow and Kidd-Gilchrist could have in common, though, is going second behind their own teammate on draft night. When Kidd-Gilchrist was picked behind Anthony Davis in 2012 it was the first time a pair of teammates went No. 1 and No. 2 overall. Okafor and Winslow have a great chance to accomplish the same feat. It’s going to be hard for Winslow to surpass Okafor simply because he’s such a rarity; true centers who can score with their backs to the basket have become hard to come by and Okafor’s offensive game is already more polished than about 90 percent of the centers currently in the NBA. After Okafor, though, there may not be a more complete player who is ready to contribute from day one like Winslow. He may have been under-ranked in high school and over analyzed by his critics, but there’s no denying now that when talking about the 2015 NBA Draft, Winslow belongs in the discussion with the elite of the elite.
