Daily News | Cassius Winston is hoping for a second NBA shot while playing for the Sixers’ Summer League team
LAS VEGAS — Cassius Winston regularly waded into a sand volleyball court in Washington, D.C., using the extra resistance while running through lateral slides and other agility drills as part of his daily offseason workout.
Winston finished with nine points, seven assists, and six turnovers against Toronto, prompting him to call it his worst outing with the Sixers. He was effective early, feeding Michael Foster for an alley-oop, floating a driving layup into the bucket through contact, and delivering a bounce pass to Jaden Springer for a corner three-pointer.
Winston said that adjustment has not been as jarring as an outsider might think, comparing it to his college freshman season when future lottery draft pick Miles Bridges anchored the Spartans. With the Wizards, Winston credited stars Bradley Beal and Russell Westbrook, respected journeyman Ish Smith, and reserve Raul Neto with helping him develop his approach as a professional.
At the end of the season, though, Winston said he and the Wizards “just didn’t see eye-to-eye” on his future with the organization. And, per league rules, a player is only able to spend two seasons on a two-way contract with one team. So that sent Winston to the sand — and to the pool — to work on his strength and conditioning so he can “bang and bump.” He is also continuing to works on drills for his shot and ballhandling.
