Justice Winslow, who stands at the height of 6 feet and 7 inches, initiated his professional basketball career in 2015 after being picked as a 10th overall pick by the Miami Heat in the 2015 NBA draft.Â
After signing a contract with the Heats, he took over the no. 20 jersey with the roles of a shooting guard.
In his debut game on 28 October 2015, he recorded stats of five points and seven rebounds in a match against Charlotte Hornets.
Ever since the start, he struggled to settle in Miami, which was supplemented by an ankle injury so early in his playing career.Â
However, like an army on a mission, he kept working hard and managed to top his season-high stat of 20 points against Denver Nuggets on 14 March 2016, after coming back from the injury. But sadly, it was the only good game he had during the entire season.Â

And at the end of 2015-16 season, although he did not live up to the expectations, he somehow managed to make it to the NBA All-Rookie Season Team.
Just when you thought he would be settling well in Miami, he was once again struck with an injury of the sore left wrist, as of which, he just managed 18 games during the whole 2016-17 season.Â
Re-embarking his career after such injury, determined Winslow went on to record a season-best stat of 23 points and 13 rebounds in a winning match against Los Angeles Lakers on 22 December 2016.Â

Despair for the young lad as he returned to the same old routine undergoing through surgery after an injury of a torn labrum in his right shoulder on 5 January 2017.Â
Later in 2017, after making a comeback from the shoulder injury, Winslow managed 68 games in total during the 2017-18 season with the stats of 7.8 points per game.
Looking at Winslow's three years career after being drafted; from the stats of averaging 12.6 points back in the university to stats of averaging 6.8 points, it would be fair enough to say that injury has fairly played hard on the rook's unsatisfying stats.
However, the rook is now very determined to make a statement in the NBA and maybe we will see much better of him in the 2018-19 season.Â
