Evaluation

May, 2008: Winston is another skilled swingman from National Christian. He possesses a good frame with long arms and wide shoulders. He has a good stroke from behind the three-point line and doesn't need much room to get his shot off because his long arms allow him to shoot over the top of most defenders. He can put the ball on the floor enough to get into the lane, although he doesn't possess the first step to consistently create separation from his defender. But Winston shows an ability to finish fairly well against contact, and that should only continue to improve as his frame fills out. Defensively, his lateral quickness is above average at best but his length helps to cover that up against quicker players.

not a bad write-up... but it's 2009 and I've barely heard of this guy!  He's got some decent interest, though.
