It seems like Justise Winslow, at age 19, takes an analytical approach to everything he does.

That's what he did when it came to getting snubbed by the NBA's assistant coaches for the Rising Stars Challenge, on Friday night of All-Star weekend in Toronto.

Only three rookies were selected for the 10 spots on the U.S. team, the same number that were selected for the World team.

So was he upset?

"No, not when I looked at the way it's set up," Winslow said, referencing the U.S. vs. World dynamic, which crowded the U.S. field. "Look at the three U.S. guys that made it."

That's Karl-Anthony Towns of the Minnesota Timberwolves, D'Angelo Russell of the Los Angeles Lakers, and Jahlil Okafor of the Philadelphia 76ers. Those were the top three picks in the 2015 draft, whereas Winslow went 10th.

"It just speaks for itself," Winslow said. "Those guys have been playing well, they have the best numbers. But they also are on some of the bottom teams in the league."

The Timberwolves, Lakers and 76ers entered Sunday's play with a 30-115 record.

Miami ended Sunday's play with a 27-21 record.

"So it's kind of, not pick your poison, but it's a tradeoff," Winslow said. "You know, I'll be in the playoffs and, most likely, those guys won't be. It's just the system. Those guys deserve it, the way they've been playing this year. But those teams, the makeup of those teams are different. Not as good as some other teams. But I'm not disappointed. Once I saw that guys like myself, Stanley (Johnson of Detroit), Devin Booker (of Phoenix), us three in particular, I saw that those three didn't make it, I was like, oh, it's just the system."

Winslow also said that he would "take the rest."

Oh, and that "I'll make up the money at playoff time."
