Martin wouldn't have been a first-round pick had he left out of high school. He might not have been one after his sophomore season. A year ago, he said he knows he had no chance to be No. 1. But each player has to make a decision as to whether or not they're ready for the rigors of the NBA both mentally and physically. He has just as much of an aura around him as Martin or anyone else in the draft.
Miles already has the draft jargon down.
He knows he's going in the top four and doesn't mind saying it. If I were predicting the draft, I would say Kenyon goes No. 1, Stromile No. 2, me or Marcus Fizer No. 3 or me at No. 4. There's no dominating player in the draft like when Tim Duncan was No. 1. The Clippers are banking that Miles will be a hit. Based on the past five drafts, he certainly was a star for at least one night.
