Jason Quick hasa nice articletoday about Martell and the work he's doing to get his head, heart, and performance aligned. It's a good step but we also have to wait and see. There's so much mental/emotional pressure in the league, not only from opponents trying to mess with your confidence but from your own coach and teammates who often don't have time, energy, or inclination to help you along. You wondered some of the possible pitfalls of drafting young? I suspect this is one of them. Not many 18 year olds could come into that situation and keep focus. I'm glad Martell is getting some assistance.
