"When the 23-year-old gets significant time with the big club remains to be seen, especially after the former national champion signed a two-way contract with Toronto shortly before Summer League. It signalled that Martin's role might be primarily with the Raptors 905 in his rookie season, given that the Dinos' roster has also gotten deeper with young talent over the past couple of seasons."
"Outside of his freshman year, when Martin was primarily a backup, he was shockingly consistent. In his final four years, Martin played in 141 Games, making 120 starts along the way, averaging nearly 14 points, over five rebounds, nearly two assists, and one and a half steals. Efficiency wise, he shot nearly 37 per cent from three (six attempts per game), over 44 per cent from the field, and over 76 per cent from the free throw line."
"The Summit, Miss. native not only brings all that game experience, but also winning game experience. Over those final four years, his teams had an astounding 115-32 record, while helping lead the Owls to a Final Four appearance in 2023, before being a part of the national championship-winning Gators last season. Martin also stood out athletically at the combine, posting a 38-inch max vertical jump and a 3.11 three-quarter court sprint, in which both numbers ranked 11th among all participants."

Martin played five collegiate seasons, four at Florida Atlantic and one at Florida, appearing in 141 games with 120 starts while averaging nearly 14 points, over five rebounds, nearly two assists and 1.5 steals. He shot about 37% from three, over 44% overall, and over 76% from the free throw line. His teams went 115-32 in his final four years, including a Final Four and a national championship, and he posted a 38-inch max vertical and a 3.11 three-quarter court sprint at the combine.
