I feel like we underutilize him offensively. He’s a matchup nightmare for most teams. He can shoot, both off the dribble and on the catch, post up, and can handle well enough to get opportunities for himself if you can draw up stuff to get him in space.At the very least he should have made the 3rd team. Shocking. What a great season he had. He's my team MVP.
I can totally see the similarities. But Tyrese is such a better shooter than Donny, who only hit 30% of his 3’s and connected on 48 of them over four years.Tyrese is Donny Marshall come again back from the 1990's. Same size (about 6'6"), similar athleticism, good rebounder, good 3 point shooter, good mental toughness and leadership ability, etc.
Have to remember- mid range game was still valued thenI can totally see the similarities. But Tyrese is such a better shooter than Donny, who only hit 30% of his 3’s and connected on 48 of them over four years.
Donny Marshall was one of the best on a break. He was super fast and Ollie or Doron always found him ahead for a dunk. Ollie to Donny on a break was like 3 seconds. It was beautiful to watch back then.I can totally see the similarities. But Tyrese is such a better shooter than Donny, who only hit 30% of his 3’s and connected on 48 of them over four years.
seems like an obvious option with our lack of offensive firepower.Him posting up smaller guys should be a consistently run play for us.
Yeah. People mention Freeman (a 4-5) and Donny (a 4) but Martin is our starting shooting guard. I don't think there are a lot of UConn comps. He's not nearly as good, but he's got kind of a poor man's Dwayne Wade game. That's who he reminds me of.I can totally see the similarities.

Side note: did anyone notice the worst moving screen I've ever seen against Martin? Somebody big (Yetna?) moved his screen as Martin cut under it and then locked arms on both sides of Martin and pushed/carried him about 6 feet. No call. It was bizarre. The shot missed but I was not happy.
He’s usually been an 8 and 15 guy. Crazy that he was not recognized for that in the voting but that’s why I place little importance on what those people think.At the very least he should have made the 3rd team. Shocking. What a great season he had. He's my team MVP.
There seemed to be a number of strange plays last night. Guys wrapped up with no call, then a call on a bump. I prefer the no calls though, let them play, it helps our bigs. It felt like a tough, defensive big east battle. It was glorious.Yeah. People mention Freeman (a 4-5) and Donny (a 4) but Martin is our starting shooting guard.
