Following potential 2015 draftees

Not sure why Johnson isn't mentioned as a on ball defender either... Oubre might have the most potential there and Winslow certainly has some too, but Johnson had the best defensive season of the 3.

Nah, Winslow was definitely the most consistent defender.

What makes you say this? He has more hustle to his defense I'll give him that, but Johnson is consistently in better positions and has a wider defensive range than Winslow.

Only stats I can find on the manner seem to support that Johnson and RHJ were equally important to Arizona's defense and both of their numbers are considerably better than Winslows.

There were a number of reports saying that Johnson would slack off on defense sometimes and it was the reason his minutes went down for a time (I think he was even moved to the bench a game or two?)

The three of them all have great defensive potential, but Winslow showed the best motor of the group on that end this year. Doesn't necessarily mean he'll be the best defender at the next level, but I do think he was the most consistent as a freshman.

The only game he didn't start was the ASU game. And I'd agree that Winslow showed a better motor, but his superior motor didn't seem to translate to better defense according to the stats or my eye test. I love Winslows effort but I felt that somewhat similarly to Westbrook he runs himself out of plays - I also have some questions about his PnR defense. Anywho I have no doubt they will both be very solid defenders at the next level.

Really feel like there are enough options in this draft that we can't really go wrong (though something about Looney's game still seems off to me).
 
We need to trade this pick for a pick that is going to be in the top 5 next year. We need to get Malik Newman.
 
Malik Newman going to be the better version of Alec Burks.

The Machine.

Hood + Newman =

I want one of either Winslow, Johnson, or Oubre.

Winslow is out of reach. We could get Johnson by moving up three or four spots. Oubre could be there at #12. He is my realistic favorite right now.
