1. Cassius Winston being Cassius Winston

Is there a better reason to look forward to watching Michigan State in 2019-20? Cassius Winston is widely regarded as the best player in college basketball and he’ll have eyes on him at all times.

Winston is the craftiest player in college basketball and he has the respect of all his peers. He is one of the most fun players to watch because he may not be the most athletic, but he always finds a way to get to the hoop and score with floaters or finger-rolls. He’s not going to dunk over defenders, but he can dribble around them and make them look silly.

Now only is he fun to watch, but he has a chance to earn some major accolades and even join a group of his own. Yes, he can form an exclusive club this season.

What is the club, you ask? He could be the first player in college basketball history to score 2,000 career points with 1,000 career assists. If that’s not impressive, I don’t know what is.

Also, he could join the Spartans’ Mount Rushmore for basketball stars with Magic Johnson, Mateen Cleaves.

Winston could make history this season all while being one of the most exciting players in the country. That’s reason enough to look forward to this season.
