Justise Winslow, Duke’s athletic wing-forward — said he feels it would be no problem fitting in alongside Carmelo Anthony despite their similar positions.
The two have already bonded over America’s favorite pastime.
Last week, Winslow attended a Yankees game with his new Roc Nation agency and sat with Anthony and his young son, Kiyan.
“Of course Carmelo loves playing for the Knicks — I know he loves playing for the Knicks,’’ Winslow said Friday at the NBA draft combine. “Our conversation wasn’t how I’d fit in with the Knicks. Our conversation was the adjustment from college to the league and how my workouts were going. He’s being a mentor for a similar guy, similar path, national champion freshman year. It’s great to have a guy like that who accomplished so much to look out for you.’’
The Knicks need a big man, so Winslow may not fit in their plans. There’s nothing wrong with trying though.
“I was picking their brain on what direction the team is going in,” Winslow said. “They have a lot of different ways to go in the offseason.”
