Strengths: Martin is an NBA level athlete who is a stretch and face up PF prospect. He finishes above the rim in traffic, runs the floor very well, flourishes filling the lanes on the break. He rebounds the ball very well, especially on the offensive end of the floor. With his athletic ability he has the potential to able to guard the SF and PF forward positions at the NBA level. He has good form on his jumper, needs to become a more consistent shooter, but it’s decent. He has a really good handle for a man his size. He can face up and attack bigs off of the bounce. Flashes some ability to score in the post. Martin’s an underrated prospect with a good amount of potential.
Weaknesses: Martin has all of the physical tools to be a high level defender, but its all about “want to”. He has to get focused and lock in, if so he could be a a very good defensive player. Martin is a ball stopper, he took a lot of bad shots when he had teammates open cutting to the basket or spotting up for three point shots.
