Another day, another All-American Team honor for Michigan State Basketball star point guard Cassius Winston. Yesterday, it was announced that Cassius Winston was an NBC Sports’ Second-Team All-American. On Wednesday, he was again named a Second-Team All-American, this time by the Sporting News.
Here is what Mike DeCourcy of The Sporting News had to say about Winston’s season:
“The story of Winston’s senior season cannot be told without the tragedy that affected him and his family in early November: the loss of his younger brother. It indelibly affected his play, but he seemed to recover the joy of the game and return to his typical dominance as the season progressed. His brilliance over the final five games (20.8 ppg, 6.8 apg, .623 field goal percentage) led to five consecutive Spartans wins. On his senior day, Tom Izzo was so reluctant to take him off the court he almost missed the chance to give Winston his curtain call — and the ceremonial kiss of the Spartan logo at center court.”
