It's amazing how year after year we find these winning players deep in the draft or post draft. Bonus points when they posterize peoplein their debut.

Martin is going to be a fan favorite. Raptors fans love dunkers. The Carter effect

Its such a bad comparison. Davis was a pass first, creative,' And 1'/street ball kind of outdoor baller. Or a city baller. One of the last true point guards. He had the ball on the string one of the best ball handlers of alltime. Martin is great and has huge upside but hes not that.

He will also be 24 on his rookie season....At the age of 24 Baron Davis was 2 time all star and avrging 22 pts, 8 asts,4 reb with 2.4 steals a game :lol: ....Martin will be a 905er since we already have so much depth at the SG position already at 24 years of age....Not even close to a good comp...

We can hope one day he reaches an Eric Bledsoe level....But we have to remember hes alot older for a rookie so he should be much more advanced than most of the players on the court in SL...To put it in perspective Jakobe will be 21 years old during this year while Martin will be 24....

Davis comp is prob satire, as that twitter account tends to post ludicrous comps for giggles.

But Idk why ppl pretend that 23-24 year old seniors entering the league won’t amount to much, as if we didn’t just watch a bunch (Nembhard, Caruso, etc) play pivotal roles in their respective title runs.

Norm and Bane were also 4YR senior guys - Martin could end up having a career like them.
He showed a ton of promise in last nights game.
