The Heat were thrilled to have Duke forward Justise Winslow slip in the draft at No. 10 and the feeling is mutual because of a shared goal to win.
Miami Heat team president Pat Riley had no idea that Duke forward Justise Winslow would be available when his team would pick No. 10 in the 2015 NBA Draft.
Sure, the team had done their homework on the highly touted prospect and valued his maturity and poise, but they hadn't spoken to him before the draft, let alone worked him out.
With so much misfortune for the franchise ever since LeBron James took his talents back home and with injuries decimating the roster last season, Riley could only smile as he spoke of how Winslow somehow slipped in the draft.
