Last night, with 4 minutes left in a tight game in Houston, Blazers coach Chauncey Billups subbed out Donovan Clingan and went with Deni Avdija to close the game at the 5. I was skeptical of the move, but it ended up paying off.

Big time sleeper here
Real length and athleticism on the wing. Shot is legit

Tyler Bilodeau is going to be a dude

[Richie Martin @RMartinHoops]

Guys I’m a bit lower on: Darius Acuff, Aday Mara

Though he knocks down catch-and-shoots, the lack of off-ball activity worries me with Acuff. Margin for error is razor thin for a guard of his stature, defensive ability, and ball-reliance

I’m sure Mara will be at least a semi-effective and productive regular season NBA player, but think the lack of shooting and lateral movement will get exposed when it matters most

[Richie Martin @RMartinHoops]

Have had less time to watch this class, but I’m comfortable ranking this top group. Here are my top 6 players in the 2026 NBA Draft

1. Darryn Peterson

DP has been the top guy for me for a couple of years, and I’m not wavering now. Still believe in his potential as a high-end lead offensive option on a contender

[Richie Martin @RMartinHoops]

Honorable Mention: Hannes Steinbach

Monster on the glass, good feel, think he’ll shoot it eventually. Plays a simple but effective game.

My one and only draft video this year. Here’s what I see with Mikel Brown Jr.

Full circle moment this morning getting to work out @SionJames14 in D.C. Big season loading in Charlotte!

[Richie Martin @RMartinHoops]

Sion James has been one of the most fun evaluations in recent memory for me. I’m shocked at the lack of draft buzz around him right now.

His feel for the game is off the charts—effortlessly whips this cross-court pass right into Proctor’s shooting pocket.
