When the Miami Heat took Justice Winslow with the 10th pick in the 2015 NBA Draft, they were expecting some big things out of him. His first two years in the league he struggled and dealt with injuries, and that affected his chance of doing a lot of growth in Miami.

This year though he took a big step forward in his development. He played in 68 games averaging 24.7 minutes, 7.8 points and 4.5 rebounds per game. However,  Winslow knows more is expected of him, and he is excited to get back into the gym. The one thing he really wants to start working on is his shooting.

“I’d definitely say work on the mid-range, coming off pick and rolls, step and shoot, lock and loaded, be ready to attack, Winslow told Barry Jackson of the Miami Herald. I feel like I can be a three-level scorer, getting to the rim, mid-range and three-point shots. Just continue with my finishing. I feel I showed at the end of the year the type of finisher I'm capable of being. The three-point shot is evolving and I’m shooting that with a lot of confidence. I know going into next year I’ll be an even better 3-point shooter.”
