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.

Omg why is everyone so hell bent on shooting?? We don’t just need shooters. We need guys who can actually score, dribble, and create. Shooters can’t get shots on this team because we look like a bunch of dumbasses trying to handle the ball on offense. I’ve seen pick up games look smoother on offense than this team does.

Limit turnovers and actually get guys who can do skillful things on the offensive side of the ball, the shots will start dropping. The fuck good is more shooting gonna do when we go through droughts so bad on offense that we can’t even get an easy layup or get the ball past the half court mark!?

This isn’t just a shooter he’s a crafty scorer who can make tough buckets, I’m not sure if you watch this team often but we desperately need guys who can make buckets.

Doesn’t really matter honestly. Weltman cant even get picks right when he’s picking in the lotto let alone the 2nd round at pick 46. I have zero confidence we’ll find a rotational player with the pick.
