Miami Heat Drafts Justise Winslow No. 10 Overall

With the No. 10 pick in the 2015 NBA Draft, the Miami Heat selected Justise Winslow, a 6-foot-6 wing out of Duke.

In a shocking development, the 19-year-old ripe off aiding Duke to their fifth national title as a freshman fell into Miami's lap with the 10th pick after many NBA Insiders predicted he'd go as early as the Top 5.

Winslow averaged 12.6 points, 6.5 rebounds, 2.1 assists, and 1.3 steals in his only season as a Blue Devil, shooting 49 percent from the floor and a sizzling 42 percent from 3-point range.

"I can't even describe how excited and grateful I am to be selected by Miami," Winslow said after hearing his name called. "I'm going to play with Dwyane Wade and learn from one of the greatest."

FiveThiryEight gives Winslow the third best chance of becoming an NBA star in the entire draft.

To the surprise of nobody, former Blue Devil/Heat wing Shane Battier applauds the pick.
