Understanding the moves that led to Frank Kaminsky over Justise Winslow

It seems as if every fall more than a few fanbases go through their coulda/woulda/shoulda phase with regards to their most recent draft. Unfortunately, the Hornets are one of them with their selection of Frank Kaminsky over Justise Winslow, and reportedly refusing Boston's offer of a handful of picks to move up. For Kaminsky, this fairly or unfairly raised expectations for his rookie season. The team and others clamoring about how NBA-ready he was at the age of 22 certainly didn't diminish those expectations.

Certainly Winslow playing more efficiently and outperforming Kaminsky in many major categories doesn't help.
