See Johnson, Stanley or Winslow, Justice.
If you get a good one then it changes everything for your team. That's what this team needs.

If it comes down to Johnson VS Winslow who are you guys picking????
They seem really similar to me, but I'd take Stanley Johnson just seems like he has a bit of an edge on the offensive end. Seems like his stroke is a bit more reliable at the next level.

I'd take the more mobile and explosive athlete, which in this case is probably Winslow.
I am leaning towards Johnson, but I wasn't incredibly impressed yesterday when he played against relatively good competition. He was getting beat off the dribble a ton and his shot looked a bit shaky...
If it comes down to this, I'm also taking a long, hard look at Mario Hezonja.

Stanley Johnson's athleticism looks pretty good at the NCAA level, but it might be just a touch above average, if that, in the NBA. He'd be a 6'7" SF similar to James Young or James Johnson. Maybe he's a defensive attack dog like Ron Artest or Andre Iguodala, but I'm not 100% certain that he is.

Carroll won't be an inexpensive free agent this time. He's a legit starter with 3PT range. I think we need to go after him...HARD! Have Snyder and Zanik give him a call at 12:00.01 and offer him a very sizable deal with a 2 minute window to accept (like Phoenix did with Raja). On the other phone, Lindsey calls Matthews and offers him a deal. First one to accept gets our money.
I think it's much easier to get a wing in free agency than a serviceable big. And it looks like there are some very good bigs in this draft, even if the Jazz don't get lucky and land Towns or Okafor.

I think people are overrating how much we need a wing defender. Defense is an inside out concept.

To add, if we replaced Kanter with an above average defender, it would do wonders for our team as a whole and help mask some of our wings defensive deficiencies.
