Re: New NBA rule set to ruin Kevin Martin's career
Is Kevin Martin changing adapting his game? He looked well rounded vs Minny & SA and he's doing a lot less flopping.

Yeah, I think we're starting to see him adapt his game. I think that the refs are noticing it, too. The last game he actually started getting calls again.

there's no doubt martin was gonna make some changes to his game. im concerned if he'll be as productive with the new rule changes. he's been coming around in the past 5 or so games, but that's partly cuz the b2(2b) start of the season is over

Last year Kevin Martin averaged 23.4ppg on 60%TS
As of March 9th 2012 he is averaging 17.7ppg on 56%TS
Martin's pumpfake was a huge part of his offensive arsenal. Not only was it an automatic 2 points when he caught an opponent airborne but he also relied on the pumpfake to setup his drive to the rim.
You take away the pumpfake threat, he is a spot shooter who cant dribble and has trouble hitting contested shots. Looks like Martin lost more than 30% of his offense.
