The one that got away: Celtics get up-close look at Justise Winslow

MIAMI -- Miami Heat rookie Justise Winslow was doing his best to fend off questions about the Boston Celtics before Monday's game when he was playfully asked how many first-round picks he thought he was worth.

"Five!" screamed locker neighbor Chris Andersen as Winslow simply leaned back in his stall and smiled in amusement.

The Celtics pushed hard to land Winslow on draft night, offering four first-round picks to Charlotte in hopes of snagging him at No. 9. The Hornets passed -- and ultimately picked Frank Kaminsky -- and the Heat happily snatched up Winslow at 10.
