The #1 pick is a guy that you expect to be an All-star in a couple of years, with the exception of players like Olowakandi and Kwame. I think if I had the #1 and those were the best players out there, I'd trade them for Martin. In a normal year, I think Martin would be worth the #3 or #4 overall pick.
Was he supposed to take minutes away from Peja those years? Peja who was putting up 24 a game on 48%, 43% from 3 and 93% from the line?
He could have played in the rotation. I'm not sure why he was buried on the bench. I don't recall who was at the backup 2 and 3 those years. Could he have played those minutes?
