Ranking free agents Bucks worked out in Las Vegas based on fit
By Dalton Sell
No. 3 - Justise Winslow
Just like Thomas, Justise Winslow is another player who's endured plenty of adversity due to injuries. The former top-10 pick played just 114 games during his final four years in the league, with a handful of teams taking a flyer on him to try and unearth some of the potential he undoubtedly possessed. Perhaps the Milwaukee Bucks could be next on that list.
When healthy, Winslow has what it takes to be an incredibly versatile defender. Standing at 6-foot-6, 222 pounds with a 6-foot-10 wingspan, he's got a Swiss Army Knife build that allows him to switch onto opponents of different sizes and hold his own. Even if it's just for depth, another stout defender could do this Milwaukee Bucks roster plenty of good.
To show that he still had fuel left in the tank, Winslow played in the G-League this past season and impressed. He averaged 16.7 points, 8.6 rebounds, 2.8 assists, 1.8 steals and 1.1 blocks per game, serving as a do-it-all player. Those numbers won't translate, but if Winslow can make an impact as a glue guy while staying healthy, there's a place for him in the NBA.
Like Barton, Winslow is another player who has suited up alongside Damian Lillard back in Portland, adding to that familiarity aspect.
The big concern with Winslow, and why he lands at third on this list, is the injury history. Although he impressed in the G-League, there are questions as to whether he can simply stay healthy if given an opportunity. At 28, he's still fairly young, so he'd fit right in with Milwaukee's recent youth movement, but he would definitely not be without risks.
