Tyrese Martin declares for the draft

[husky429]

I don't know if he is good enough to make the NBA. A question I have always wondered is that if you are guy that's good but not good enough to make the NBA, do you go the G-League route or Europe? I feel like playing in Europe would be more interesting. It would be much cooler to live in Barcelona, Madrid, Lyon, or somewhere in Greece or Italy than Des Moines or Delaware.

The problem is that most of the guys are not living in cool cities like Barcelona or Madrid. There are TONS of articles from former college players saying just how horrible it is playing in Europe at all but the highest levels. Even at the best teams, extended time away from home, language barriers, and being taken advantage of financially are rampant.

Tyrese was one of my all-time favorite players as well...loved the aggressiveness, physicality, toughness and swagger he played with over his career. He outrebounded guys much bigger than him due to his passion and desire and will to rebound at all costs. Played hurt as well and turned into a great 3 point shooter as well. If I were a GM, I would want to have him on my team and thinks he deserves an opportunity to play in the NBA. If not, he will have a very successful career overseas.

Wish you the best Tyrese!

I think you try the G League.

Guess I’ll share again a person “in the know” told me out of all the UConn players, he also liked Martin the best for this year. He has fans in NBA circles it seems, how far it takes him will be interesting to follow.

The weakest parts of his game should be somewhat easy to improve, ball handling and finishing. His shot is decent, and I’d say he needs to continue to work on that, especially off the dribble

G league is fastest way to nba. Get 2 years in g league, then turn that into a bigger deal in Europe like jalen adams did.

Plus not every kid fresh out of college want to or is ready to move overseas. I'm sure it scares the hell out of some.

Been making the comparison since he arrived, expect a similar NBA career, if not better since the game has changed...

i can see him making a nba team. he's the prototypical 2 guard who defends

Loved this kid. He gave it his all. Played way above his ability and then really improved his ability. He's active back home in the community and was quoted as saying "I get offended when someone gets a rebound over me."

He should get a shot somewhere, definitely G League. I follow the Pacers and I’d take Tyrese right now over some of the scrubs they’ve had on the roster this year

Fellow Pacers guy here. I’d take him over Justin Anderson for sure

Agreed, they had the dude from Butler, Kelan Martin, earlier too. He will definitely have a chance to prove himself
