What happened: Nick Martinelli is officially on site following his selection in the 2026 NBA Draft. He is accompanied by fellow prospect Baba Miller as the offseason program ramps up.

Why it matters: The 55th overall pick recently signed a two-way contract and will split his time between the active roster and the G League. Establishing an early presence allows him to acclimate to the developmental system.

By the numbers: The 6-foot-7 forward concluded his collegiate tenure by setting the Northwestern single-season scoring record and securing Academic All-American honors.

What to watch: Upcoming summer workouts will begin to outline his initial fit within the rotation.
