Alijah Martin, SG, Florida, senior

Strengths: Martin is a strong, explosive wing whose shotmaking and defensive versatility played a key role in Florida's championship run.

Weaknesses: While he has a 6-foot-7½ wingspan, Martin isn't a great ball handler or passer for his size. He has been prone to streakiness from beyond the arc.

The verdict: Bouncy, physical and tough, Martin had some strong two-way efforts, especially when his shot was falling at a high rate. Playing bigger than his listed height defensively and making impressive plays in space, his physical tools were an asset at the college level, but he'll have to become a more reliable shooter or effective playmaker to ease his transition to the NBA. -- Givony

This guy is an absolute dawg. Great competition for our backup pg position.

He played a key role for Florida and was a problem defensively. Great pick imo
