Tyrese Martin - Drafted 51 to Atlanta

[MDHuskFan]

looking at todays landscape, this has to help not only recruiting High School kids, but Portal kids who think they’ve been under developed.

He won’t (unless something goes horribly wrong) be working at a factory job this summer to help pay bills

And Rese managed to be both for Hurley!

I missed it was he drafted by GS then traded to Atlanta or the other way round

Unfortunately he was traded to Atlanta.

Good question, ESPN shows him going to Golden State.

Picked by Golden State, but they traded the pick and he will head to Atlanta

Yup. Golden State traded for 44 before the pick with Atlanta, so all parties knew it was Atlanta picking at 51 at the time of pick.

How many teams in the country going to have
NFL
NHL
NBA
WNBA
MLB
Draft picks this year?

Don’t forget mls

I just read the entire draft. Tyrese was the only Big East player drafted!

 

[MDHuskFan]

No big East team selection despite an amazing year. All Rese does is

1) Make all BET team
2) win 3x3
3) show OUT in Portsmouth
4) Destroy the g league combine
5) Get an nba combine invite & show out
6) become the only Big East player drafted this year.

Kudos to him

I’m so happy for Rese. Kid had the drive and wouldn’t quit. Played injured all the time and had some great Husky moments. Hurley has a good eye of talent! Excited to follow another Husky in the league. LFGGGGG!!!

Who cares. He now has the opportunity to play in the league. How many can say that?

Sometimes good things happen to great people. Congratulations Rese!

Dan Hurley now starting to get the League scouts attention as JC once did when it was said "when players come out of Uconn they are NBA ready." Congratulations Tyrese for all your efforts. You have left behind a legacy of toughness and leadership like many other Huskies before you and the result was the only NBE player drafted this year. What an inspiration to the program, the school and all of us fans! We will never forget you here and look forward to your future sucess in life and as a professional basketball player. Well done and all the best!

Happy for the kid. Not sure if I wanted him drafted or to be a free agent and go where he thinks he has the best chance, but the Hawks now have a vested interest in seeing him succeed

Go Tyrese

Congrats Tyrese!

First time since 2014 that we have had players drafted in consecutive years. God Bless Dan Hurley for getting us back to this point. And congratulations to Tyrese, he’s earned it.

I'm watching this all day. Hard work pays off!!!

Better. chance to play in Atlanta than Golden State.

Where are all the "Hurley doesn't develop players" posters now? Extremely happy for Rese, he worked his tail off. Such great showcase for what Dan Hurley &staff and the UConn program to do player development wise.

I just read the entire draft. Tyrese was the only Big East player drafted!

this is both odd and surprising btw

 

[tentoes4rings]

That’s true. Just would have been fun to see him on a team that goes deep into the playoffs, but PT would be difficult to get there.

That really is surprising. I remember in the beginning of the year people were talking about Champagne and Justin Lewis as if they were sure thing first rounders.
