[B]TLDL; Glen Willis:[/B] Likes his aggressiveness, especially after game one (TM only got 5 pts that game; was forcing shots up). His handle and physicality, are better than he expected coming out of college (Guessing he didn't watch many games last season). His craft of getting to the rim and creating decent shots at the rim, plus good feel for what space he has to operate in. When his defender gave him space, he took advantage of that immediately and got leverage, which he didn't notice too often with guys playing their first time in the professional ranks. TM noticed when he got an angle/space, and used it every single time, which was fun to watch. On defense, they think TM has a lot of work to do on angles and containment. The hawks have been playing an aggressive defensive scheme this SL, so TM's off ball help/support hasn't always been in the right spot, but wasn't a surprise since they guys haven't played together. He think TM's going to be stronger, but they're not quite sure about TM's quickness. They'll have to wait and see if he can master the angles he gets and if he can apply what quickness he has there. Looks like he can be a factor at some point, which is an incredible get at 51. [B]Kevin Chouinard: [/B] Tyrese does a lot of good stuff with the ball; he consumes the space and makes good decisions with the ball at the rim. When he does cut, he makes good decisions, and has made some good passes on the move as well. Summer League obviously isn't the real thing, but he's really impressed with Martin. They both agree that TM has been the best player on the Hawks this Summer League. They've noticed he's a perfectionist on the floor and appreciate his acuity and competitiveness. [B]Roster Chance:[/B] As far as his spot on the team, they're not sure if he would get a regular contract; taking the 14th roster spot or would fill the second 2-way spot, next to Sharife. For the 14th or 15th roster spot they mentioned the Hawks needing another PG. With losing Huerter, they're going to need someone who can play the 1 and the 2. They don't see anyone on this SL roster being a factor for a real contract, unless Tyrese Martin gets one. [11:03] [/QUOTE]
