Top plays of 2015 with Justise Winslow.

Great thread!

When Winslow steps on the court he is a human highlight reel! Even with him only being here 1 year, he will easily be one of my top 3 players. I loved watching and will miss him big time!
 
Hard to beat that Top 10! What a Year! ... I love the Plumlee 3-pointer too - the bench reaction is the best, everyone is losing their mind. And then you look over and see the coaches in their suits looking all stoic. I think Capel might have been smirking a little though.
 
ODD ^ how do I find the old editor on here to get the pics to show up?

I don't know where or if their is an old editor,Skee, I wish I had more time to look for it buddy, but I'm in the midst of getting my wife ready for us to attend two funerals today.
But I can tell you that the new system works really well (for me). If you look up above at the symbols (Text, Bold, Underline, etc.) you'll see the smiley face symbol...next to it (on the right) is the image symbol. Just click it and a box pops up...insert the url link (in my photobucket account it's the 'direct' link), and post. It works well, and is faster than the old way imo. Anyway, I've got to go. Hope you can get it to work. I'll check back in tonight, if I get a chance.

OFC
 
^ Thanks ODD!


These are 2 of my favorite overall pics (which were of Justise Winslow) that I was able to take at the Final Four right after Duke won the national championship. As I was walking to the stage I passed him hugging I'm assuming his family. Glad to see him get a national championship!

The video of the bench after Marshall's 3 was one of my favorite videos of the year.
 
Quinn & Tyus' threes at UVA knocked me off the couch. That was big time.

One of the best parts about the clip is Perrantes' reaction to the Tyus 3. UVa decided to play straight D and go for a 3 to tie w/ about 10 seconds left, and that 3 sealed it. Perrantes just deflates.

I also loved Jah's reaction to the 3 by Quinn. That was one of those moments during the season when you knew these guys were a team and not just a group of players. Loved that.

"This is all planned...the play , the pass and the finish..."

"Jahlil being Jahlil. Five players can't guard him, unc needs six but they only have five so it's not enough."



Another vid. 4:29....


"If you can keep up with the trill then you can chill."


 
I don't know if it has completely sunk in just how good Justice Winslow was...especially in the tournament. He was the most dominant all-around player in every game Duke played down the stretch.

His physical approach defensively and on the boards at that position was incredible but he also played with such great IQ which isn't something you always expect from someone that has so many athletic gifts.

I think Tyus was deserving of all those awards, but I think I know what you mean. Near the end of the regular season I heard a discussion on the radio where someone said Jahlil was our best player, but Tyus was our most valuable player, and Justise was our most important player. I might have the exact description of Justise off a little... most indispensable, maybe... In any event, the idea was that he was kind of an X-factor, like he was the biggest match-up nightmare for other teams and did so many different things well. Aside from foul trouble, there wasn't a line-up on the court we wouldn't want him to be a part of. Even his shaky free throws couldn't detract from his value as a tertiary ball-handler, passer, and athlete in end game situations. He could do a little bit of everything, and a lot of most things. I don't recall our ever using him at the 2 on offense, but I'm convinced he could have played there in a pinch, and he was well suited for either traditional forward spot.

PG is the most important position in the college game, period. B/c they're rare, a great Center would be next in my mind. But that versatile athletic guy is often the extra bump a team needs to go from good to great. That was Justise. How fortunate we were to have him at Duke!

Dattier even his foul shooting was good. He went through a bad stretch mid-season where he was bad from the line and from 3 but in the tournament at least he was really solid from both.

We should almost start a separate thread for all the videos. I feel like I've seen 20 different one's in the last three weeks but I never remember which thread they were in. We could pin it up too so people can go back and enjoy anytime these want.

Yep. I've been thinkin' the same thing. Might prevent some of the re-posts too. I'm pretty sure I've posted the same vid at least once if not twice. Heck , maybe more. lol. Back on topic , Justise was just a phenomenal player. Early in the season , K let 'im bring the ball up a few times. I'm not talkin' about him snaring a board or block then runnin' the court ( which he did as well as anyone in country , btw ) , I'm talkin' about setting up the offense. He handled it too. Imagine that guy as a senior. Wow.
