Justise Winslow Signs with Roc Nation: Latest Details, Comments and Reaction
April 21, 2015
Duke standout Justise Winslow became the latest high-profile member of the 2015 NBA draft class to sign with Roc Nation, the entertainment company owned by music superstar Jay Z.
Roc Nation Sports confirmed the newest addition Tuesday on social media. Winslow tweeted out the news as well:

Kentucky big man Willie Cauley-Stein signed with the group last week. Roc Nation Sports is also home to other big names from around the sports world, including Kevin Durant, Dez Bryant and Robinson Cano, among others.
Winslow was a vital member of the Blue Devils' national championship team this past season. He was third on the team in scoring at 12.6 points per game, but it was the spark he provided on the defensive end that keyed the team's title run.
Looking toward the draft, he's a top-10 prospect with a reasonable chance to ultimately end up inside the top five on draft day. While he may never become an elite scorer, he should be a reliable offensive contributor and a player capable of defending an opponent's top perimeter option.
His stock is certainly on the rise after a strong NCAA tournament. He now hopes Roc Nation is able to capitalize on that both in terms of his future contracts and any off-court opportunities.
