I went with Martin. Not sure he will be there at 28. It would be nice if he was and he will had the 28th pick.

I like Martin in that spot, or Wood. Also happy enough with Mickey of Connaughton though at least one should be there at 33.

I'll go with Martin though.

I'm a Mickey fan, but I think you have to take Martin if he's available here and hope Mickey or Upshaw is still available at 33. I like Connaughton...with the 45 pick. That would be a huge reach at this point.

Hernangomez as draft & stash -- unless he plans on coming over right away, in which case forget that and go with Jarell Martin.

Doesnt make sense to have both 28 and 33. If the C's dont use 28 to move up from 16, they should use 33 to move up from 28.

Oh, I agree. There's no way we actually draft four players.

I think Dakari Johnson is a stiff, but I really like Cliff Alexander. He's got that cross-eyed, mean-face, get-a-lot-of-technical-fouls look about him.

Dakari is pretty low risk imo. You know what he is, cheap role big that grabs rebounds, protects the paint and has enough touch around the rim to get clean up baskets. You pretty much are looking at Mahinmi which is value at 28. Cliff has more upside, but he still needs to learn to play basketball. He's just so raw there's a possibility he doesn't have the work ethic to make it. High bust capability but I personally trust Stevens enough to get production from him eventually. Talent is there, but he's a long way from making an impact.

Highly doubt Martin will be available... he's the high up side player that no one is really talking about in this draft. When you're 6'9" 240 and doing through the leg dunks in an NCAA game it's safe to say you're a great athlete. He played against the best at Kentucky and showed out.

Kid is a ball and players with electric energy and great physicality. Lots to work on defensively, and he needs to become a better shooter but with the way the league is going "tweener" is the new "versatile". I'm not as high on him as I was on Draymond Green, but I looked at Green as a poor man's Pierce, and I view Martin as a poor man's Melo. We'll see how that turns out, but if he's available at 28... I'm taking Martin and not thinking twice about it.
