Cassius Winston – (Detroit, Mich.), The Family – 2016
Height: 6’1″
Position: Power Forward
Committed College: Michigan State
Star Grade:

Date: July 17, 2014
Evaluator: Jonathan Hemingway
Location: EYBL Nike Peach Jam (North Augusta, S.C.)
Winston played with The Family 16s this weekend. He played both guard positions throughout the week. He again showed his ability to slash the lane. He finished the ball exceptionally well around the rim. He again did not show range on his jumper in this viewing.

Date: June 14, 2014
Evaluator: Brandon Clay
Location: Nike Elite 100 Camp (St. Louis, Mo.)
Winston is a legitimate distributing option at the point guard position. He gets downhill in a hurry with the ball in his hands and has shown that he can finish in traffic. We didn’t see him display a jump shot in this eval.
