The 6-foot-6 junior -- whose 46.8 percent 3-point accuracy would be second in the SEC if he had two more treys -- is considered a mid to late first-round NBA draft pick if he chooses to take that route this spring. "(Declaring early for the NBA) is a very strong possibility," said Winston, who intends to scrutinize his draft potential after the season. "If I get the right feedback, I will (come out), just for my personal financial situation and wanting to help my family." Winston, a prime candidate for SEC player of the year honors along with Florida's Anthony Roberson, LSU's Brandon Bass and Mississippi State Lawrence Roberts, has been considered NBA material since his prep days at Blount High. He led the Leopards to consecutive Class 5A state championship games, including the title in 2001, and pulled down Mr. Basketball honors. </div> Source
