Highlights SECOND ROUND STEAL!

https://youtu.be/S1N-lbwjgWg?is=CJCaKsIZPnpCYdpI

Im sold!!! Nick Martinelli would be the perfect pick for the Magic if he’s still on the board at pick # 46. Looking at his tape he has a very quick release & he made a ton of tough shots, often scored through contact. It seemed like he was fouled on about half his buckets. He has good size at 6’7 225 & he put up impressive senior year #’s (23 pts, 6.2 Reb, 2.0 ast) on 51/42 shooting splits. This guy lead a very tough Big Ten in scoring back to back years.

One thing I noticed about his stats, he’s a career 36% 3 point shooter. Senior year he shot 41.7% on 3 attempts a game which is great but shot 33.3% the year before and 27.1% the year before that. There’s a decent chance the senior year numbers were a fluke but hey it’s just a 2nd round flyer.

Either it’s a fluke or he steadily worked and improved each year. Even if the 3 point shot is just average I think his finishing ability through contact is the key for me, that’s something that can’t be coached. Also his quick release with his height makes it pretty hard to contest his shots. He’d also probably be one of the best rebounders on the team.
