He strikes me as someone who is a second round pick who, in workouts if he shoots it well, could sneak into the back half. One thing I think you guys forget is that after the top 10, the league is looking for either high potential stars (young players with high ceilings) or rotational players. Comes down to who can he defend. Martin can defend 1,2,3 and if he can shoot and finish at the basket...what else do you want off the bench? He's a good physical athlete, can shoot 3s, and is rugged and can rebound and finish inside. It's weird, I know, but a guy like Martin can fit on an NBA team seamlessly. Only issue is there are a lot of guys like Martin vying for the same spots. But, if he is a 40% 3-point shooter I can guarantee you he will get a spot with his physical profile. Here is why people get mad at NBA. A guy like Grant Williams with Boston was a low ceiling late first round pick and is now a top 7 rotation player shooting over 40% from 3 with top defense. Knock on martin? FT% is only 67%. He has been a career 32% shooter from 3 until this year. His FT% has not gone up, but his 3-point shooting has. That's gonna be a red flag that his shooting is not as good as the numbers. He 's going to have to shoot the lights out in workouts, Then, there are college stars like Luka Garza who go undrafted and are barely in league as 2-way players. It's about who you can defend at that level. [/QUOTE]
