Austin Martin Signs for 2nd Highest Bonus in 2020 Draft

Related Topics: Kyle Wright

Similar to what happened to Kyle Wright a few years back, Austin Martin fell to pick #5 in a draft where he was clearly one of the top two players. Just like Kyle Wright, Martin just got paid based on where he should have been chosen.

2nd highest bonus. As if Toronto agreed with us that it was insane for Martin to be picked any later than #2 overall. https://t.co/TwrmT7nHN6
