Cassius Winston, the crafty point guard for Hapoel Jerusalem, is looking to translate his collegiate brilliance into professional success overseas. The 28-year-old from Detroit had a legendary career at Michigan State University, where he was a two-time All-American and the 2019 Big Ten Player of the Year, known for his elite passing, poise, and clutch shooting. Standing 6'1" and 185 pounds, Winston was selected with the 53rd pick in the 2020 NBA Draft by the Oklahoma City Thunder. He spent time with the Washington Wizards on a two-way contract, showing flashes of his high-IQ game in limited NBA minutes. His professional path has now led him to the Israeli Basketball Premier League, where he runs the show for Hapoel Jerusalem. Wearing his familiar number 8, Winston's game is built on controlling the tempo, delivering pinpoint passes, and hitting big shots off the dribble. He remains a player whose leadership and court vision can elevate an entire team's offense, as he aims to lead Jerusalem to domestic and European success.
