From an early age, K.J. Martin has shown the instincts and determination to whatever is...
Houston Rockets forward Kenyon Martin Jr. holds onto the basket after dunking it against Miami Heat in the first half at the Toyota Center on Thursday, Dec. 15, 2022 in Houston.“Since I got here, with this team, it’s just been really sharpening and adding stuff year by year,” Martin said. “Coach and them, they trust me to go out and just play off of my instinct.
Still, said Soldiers director/coach Loren Leath, that didn’t prevent Martin from being one of the team captains and optimizing the game to his advantage. He was a vocal leader, an anchor on defense, and cleaned up the glass on offense to get to his sweet spot . In those ways, Leath said, he was “the ultimate team guy.”
Hines, now a player development coach for the Raptors, said he was taken not just by Martin’s genetics and work ethic, but by his keen understanding of basketball. Were criticisms of Martin as a one-dimensional player at that point accurate? Yes and no, said former IMG Academy coach Chad Myers. Martin could do things other than run and jump, but he hadn’t been frequently put in positions where he needed to do so. Muscles weaken without consistent use.
