Former UConn men’s basketball guard Tyrese Martin secures NBA G League Elite Camp invite > NBA Draft Combine invite

[RichZ]

I was always taugh if you trap do so in the corners, using the out of bounds as an additional defender full or half court.

Reminds me of the year we trapped mercilessly whenever we could force the ball to the corner as it reached half court. And then the next year, it was almost never employed. Can't remember which reported asked him what happened to the trapping defense, and he just said 'the rest of the league figured out how to avoid it.'

Tyrese Martin | UConn | SF | 6'6.75" in shoes, 215lbs, 6'8" wingspan

Game 2 Stats: 13 points, 14 rebounds, 2 assists, 1 steal (5-9 FGs, 1-2 from three)

Martin didn't have the greatest first day of the combine but he left it all out on the floor on Tuesday and it paid off with an invite to the Combine. He's a strong, sturdy and fast wing who was exceptional rebounding the basketball, earning his way to a double-double.

Martin is an impressive athlete at his size, measuring a 39-inch max vertical jump and with his nose for the basketball, he really is an impressive rebounder for a wing.

He didn't have the best shooting performance in his two games, connecting on 2-of-7 from deep but he did connect on 43-percent of his 3.4 attempts a game this season.

very much so onto the NBA radar. Even if he doesn't get drafted, that might work out better as I think he can choose which to team to try out for (someone feel free to correct me on that). I think he is a good candidate for 10-day contract and if he decides to play in Europe it will be one of the higher level leagues where he will be getting 6-figures.

I couldn't be more pleased for his success.

True. They got the ball to the middle.

The key for Tyres is semi respectable shooting. He checks other boxes but he needs to demonstrate a minimal level of competency in that area to be considered.

Duh.

 

[JohnFSilver]

Yea just go to the Heat undrafted and he'll probably be starting on an ECF team in 3 years.

There are so many players with 2 ways and the G league is rising a bit . A 2 way deal as a free agent is the new way teams are gonna build.

Those 2nd rounders are gonna be euros. The UDFAs are gonna end up being how you round out your roster.

Tough news for the people in here that say "Danny doesn't develop guys". Happy for Rese and also great for the UConn program.

Tyrese definitely developed his game while at UConn. The one recent write up that I read spoke very highly of him in all aspects with the possible exception of shooting, yet he even shot a very good percentage from outside last year.

Martin's first scrimmage is on ESPNews right now. Just threw down a nice dunk in transition.

Edit- He's on Team Curry.

Decent first game for Martin:
12 pts, 5 rbs, 1 ast, 1 TO, 2-5 from 3, +8. Decent defense by him for a scrimmage game from what I saw.

Could see him developing into a Grant Williams type player on a good team.

maybe- I would love it
but did you see G Williams play in college?

 

[Incursio007]

Not particularly - but similar body types. Rese more athletic & based on stats, seems to be a much better shooter coming out of school.

Williams was the SEC Player of the Year twice. A pretty good college player.

He can carve out a Matt Barnes type of role. physical 3 and D guard

He's not built quite like Grant Williams. But he can be a very useful guy off the bench. The key for Tyrese is strength, athleticism (39 inch vertical is elite) and shooting. At his size he can handle 3-4 positions on the defensive end, which makes him really versatile and more valuable. His focus should be on defense.

Martin is on again in his last scrimmage on ESPNews.
