Martin’s Layup Yips

Best basketball tip I ever got, "Use the glass" if your short after that it could still go in. Short to the basket, will never go in.
Never up, never in.
 
At least two missed bunnies in first half.

The problem with the "Yips" is he so use to overpowering people with his brute strength. He just needs to use more finesse at times like Bouk. Maybe Bouk can teach a little how to finish at the rim. Martin definitely has the skills to get to the rim and be a big time player but just a little more finishing will make him unstoppable. Also, hit those FT's.

FTs are more frustrating then not finessing

Wouldn't mind an occasional dunk from in close.. Not sure he has the quick hops that some of our guys have..

Glad to have him along for the ride this year.. Great energy/attitude....
 
Let Martin be Pippen and and Bouk be Jordan rotating who brings the ball up

I saw the quick hops in games with some of his dunks. I think he needs to implement that at times but he likes the spin move a lot and is normally off balance and can't gather. Probably another reason for the easy missed shots. Just needs to tighten up his game. I'm glad we have him for sure as if he was in a redshirt year I couldn't imagine who we could turn to for scoring. Maybe look for more inside scoring. We barely looked to score inside this game with post moves which was surprising since how well we did against Butler.
 
I don’t get it. I don’t get it. Tonight he made some important ones at an important time. That’s all that matters to me!

Martin did it all tonight. Both good and bad. I did like seeing him being so aggressive. I can't say it was pretty to watch. Looked like a game of 21 at times or an unorganized pickup game. Still nice to see Martin step up.
 
Stop using the left hand so much. John Wooden said the left handed layup is the most unnecessary shot in basketball
 
He can have the yips he’s the only one that goes to the rack. Tough kid will make his share we should be happy he’s a Husky that’s for sure.
 
Martin was great but I’d like him to get on those FT’s.

Just no "touch" at release. Josh suffers with the same problem. Lack of aim and concentration perhaps? Or, simply just unable to lay the ball up in a soft manner in order to "get the roll". Add to that his 60% FT average....completely unacceptable. Both he and Cole missed 5 out of 8 FTs in the last 2 mins....make them all, they win.

If Josh Carlton needs a ride back home to NC, I'll warm up the car.
Why not more minutes for Akok Akok?

Don’t disagree but Johnnie’s stud wasn’t great from the line either. I think Martin has bad technique. Too much palm and not enough fingers. Cole’s shot is not soft. If not straight in, he doesn’t get the roll.
 
Very odd because he does everything very well until he releases the ball. And then at times its just atrocious. Like he'll miss everything from just a few feet away.

Martin either needs a shrink, or he needs to work on his vertical until he can just simply jump over everyone and dunk. I'm talking dunking from the foul line ability.

He’s like the most athletically unathletic person we’ve had since Sid Wilson.
