At the start of last season, there was not even the hint of debate after Winslow started just eight games as a rookie. He started the first nine games of 2016-17 at small forward, with the Heat 2-7. He then missed the next 16 games with a sore left wrist. He returned for another nine games, with the Heat again 2-7, and that was it for his season, sidelined the rest of the way by surgery on his left shoulder.
