He’s having a great season and playing very consistently on the offensive and defensive end. He shoots about 45% from 3, has good size and strength- could he potentially play himself into a role in the NBA?
You won't find a bigger Tyrese Martin fan than me, but I never thought of him as an NBA level talent. Seems to fit the mold of a good overseas player. I hope I'm wrong though!
He is kind of a classic tweener, Too small for the three and lacking guard skills. The NBA is a cruel place. But never day never.No. He isn't a 45% 3 point shooter--he had a hot streak and it's on very small sample size, and he can't shoot off the dribble. He's definitely better than he was at URI... he's probably more like a 35-40% shooter. Good, but not exceptional. He may get a workout or a shot in the g-league, but he isn't gonna be a staple in the league with his skill set at 6'6 215 IMO.
You’re right. He’s the type that could be on a summer league team or a g league roster but is better off making good money for a decade overseas. He is strong and can defend but he is not a good finisher, doesn’t have a variety of moves, and while he jumps high in space he is not athletic in traffic at all.You won't find a bigger Tyrese Martin fan than me, but I never thought of him as an NBA level talent.

While I agree with most of your points- for the year he is 28/62 from 3 for 45%. Pretty decent sample size to me. He is much improved in that area over last year. I agree with most that he is probably better suited for an overseas career.No. He isn't a 45% 3 point shooter--he had a hot streak and it's on very small sample size, and he can't shoot off the dribble.

He can but a lot of times fades away and doesn't go up strong. He definitely one of 2 players on our team who shoot off the dribble. The other is Cole. The problem is both are not real effective when doing so unless they get on a hot streak. Though I don't see him as NBA talent either. Maybe he can catch on a camp and impress and be a player of all trades. That would be the only way he would stick.No. He isn't a 45% 3 point shooter--he had a hot streak and it's on very small sample size, and he can't shoot off the dribble.

Hes at 45% but just because you think so we should just consider him 35-40%? SMH. Why track stats?No. He isn't a 45% 3 point shooter--he had a hot streak and it's on very small sample size, and he can't shoot off the dribble.

Agree. He's worth seeing in a workout and summer league. I think we underestimate his hops. He's a great rebounder for a reason. His biggest improvement this year isn't shooting, it's ball handling. He's bringing the ball up the court, especially on the break and doing a good job passing as well. I can see him getting a G league spot.He won’t be drafted but I’ll guess that his size and shooting this year will convince someone to bring him and take a look during camp/summer league.
Needs work on his ball handling. Not sure he can get away with driving the lane and putting up his crazy layups.He’s having a great season and playing very consistently on the offensive and defensive end.

Somebody in this thread called him a tweener. The modern NBA loves nothing quite as much as it loves tweeners. His size/strength is almost ideal.
Someone in another thread mentioned Jae Crowder which I kinda like. Tyrese is quite a bit leaner though, less able to play the 4.Yeah, I just don't quite see it.
He's a little too small to be a stretch-4 3-and-D kind of guy (and not quite pure enough a shooter) and he doesn't quite have the handle and explosiveness to fit as a guard.
What's his comp? Like a Draymond Green without the passing ability?
