Cassius Winston is currently gearing up for the 2020 NBA Draft which is slated for October 16. In the meantime and in-between time, Winston has spoken in interviews discussing the Draft process and more.

Recently, Cassius sat down with Sam Vecenie of The Athletic for a conversation on The Game Theory Podcast. In this convo, Winston talked about his recruiting process and specifically picking Michigan State over interstate rival Michigan.

First and foremost, I laughed out loud when Cassius Winston called Michigan “soft”. Furthermore, it’s incredibly interesting that Winston appreciated Michigan State’s challenge to prove himself rather than being accepted or cherished right away. Especially when you think about how Winston eventually developed into one of the most beloved MSU basketball players of all time.
