Michigan State Basketball: Building Tom Izzo’s perfect Spartan basketball player
Brain: Cassius Winston
Just saying that this category is dedicated to his brain doesn’t do it justice. This category would give our ideal player Cassius Winston‘s drive, competitiveness, spartan dawg mentality and just about everything else we love about his personality.
Cassius was the perfect Michigan State basketball player. I’m not saying that hyperbolically either; we may never see a more beloved person drape the green and white for the rest of our lives. Connor Muldowney, our site expert, put it best with the following viral tweet:

A perfect encompassment of everyone’s favorite player, we’ll not only get his personality, but his court vision and ability to dissect opposing offenses.
Nobody in the country ran a team better than Cassius and he did it without any sort of physically imposing athletic attributes, something we’ll have to look elsewhere for on this list.
