Cody Martin became something of a draft darling because of his playmaking ability at 6'5 but what people maybe don't realize is that Caleb, not Cody, was the 2018 Mountain West Player of the Year. Look at last year's G League thread, he was tearing it up, averaged 21 ppg for the season and 30 ppg in his final 3 Gboro appearances before trading places with Bacon in Charlotte. Thing 2 can score the ball

I like them both, Caleb shoots a bit better though. I agree it was a package deal at the draft and I hope we can resign both at a group rate discount, lol.

Caleb does have poor decision making and is a ball stopper. Still if he can be a knockdown shooter and has size to not be a huge minus on D then he's a homerun for an UDFA guy. He's older but is probably a rotation player if he can keep shooting 40%+ from 3. Not positive that trend will continue though.

I'm quite sad to see him go. I hope he gets a landing spot soon.

I'm not usually into the gimmicky type thing, but I did kinda like the Twin #1/Twin #2 thing.

Plus I like the energy, passion, effort and vigor they both play with.

All the best Twin #2. Thanks for always trying to jam on everyone.

If he can't find a job anywhere he could always throw on Cody's jersey and fill in for him whenever he's injured or just not feelin it

I enjoyed having Thing 2 around even if underwhelmed more often than not. He always played hard and his faults as a player weren't from lack of commitment or effort. I'll always remember how he went straight up with Bam on defense in that win against Miami before the Covid shutdown. That was hype.

This was always my position. Have them suit up in identical kit and play them interchangeably as needed.

it's unfortunate that his energy didn't outweigh how much he sucked at basketball
