Bruce Brown driving on Cassius Winston during a February game Photo by G Fiume/Getty Images Future with the Wizards I don’t see him ever being a noteworthy defender in the NBA. He’s not especially quick, he’s not big for his position, and he isn’t a dynamic athlete. ![]() When you watch him play for the Go-Go, it just doesn’t feel like you’re watching someone who could sub in and play meaningful minutes for the Wizards. He essentially acted as a microwave scorer off the bench for the Go-Go. On paper, he had a productive season off the bench for the Go-Go. The percentages look solid and the per-36-minute stats mostly look good (26 points, 9.4 assists, 5.3 rebounds, 4.8 turnovers). He made 11-of-14 shots, including 4-of-4 from three. In the Go-Go’s second-round playoff loss, Winston had 28 points, 2, rebounds, and 2 assists. He’s made 45.9% of his shots from the field and 37.9% from three on 4.2 attempts. ![]() In 41 total G League games, he’s averaged 12.8 points, 4.9 assists, and 2.2 turnovers in 22.3 minutes per game. This year, he played 26 games for the Go-Go and started none of them. Winston played 15 games for the Erie BayHawks in the G League Bubble in 2020 because the Go-Go did not field a team. In 29 games for the Wizards, Winston recorded 137 total minutes, 55 total points, 19 total assists, and made 10 of 23 three-point attempts.

Winston missed a good deal of time early in the season due to a leg injury and it seemed to take him a while to get back to the form he displayed the previous season. He’s been a totally forgettable NBA player thus far. Winston was a really good college point guard. The Washington Wizards selected Cassius Winston with the 53rd pick in the 2020 NBA Draft. ![]()
