Ranking all 24 Duke basketball players in the NBA this season
By Matt Giles
16. Former Duke basketball forward Justise Winslow
Justise Winslow, whose lone season in Durham coincided with the program’s 2014-15 national championship, is now in his seventh year as a pro after going No. 10 overall at the 2015 NBA Draft. And the 25-year-old is now with a new team following a trade in early February that sent him from the Los Angeles Clippers to the Portland Trail Blazers.
Across 43 combined games with the Clippers and Blazers, including his six starting nods, Winslow is putting up the following season averages and percentages:
- 5.3 points per game
- 4.1 rebounds per game
- 1.7 assists per game
- 0.7 steals per game
- 0.5 blocks per game
- 45.1 percent from the field (career-high)
- 22.0 percent beyond the arc
- 62.3 percent from the charity stripe
Justise Winslow and the Portland Trail Blazers (25-34), now No. 10 in the Western Conference standings, return from the All-Star break at 10 p.m. ET Thursday when they host the Golden State Warriors (42-17).
