Justin Martin improved his value as an NBA prospect with each year while playing at Xavier . Martin is a strong, muscular 6’6” with an NBA body at the age of 28 . He does an excellent job at finishing around the rim, using long and effective drop steps for better positioning when dealing in the paint . Shows nice touch on his short, over the shoulder baby hook shot . He’s become extremely efficient from the perimeter, shooting 36% (2018-19) from downtown and looking fluent and comfortable in spot up opportunities . Averaging a block and 7.5 rebounds in 33 minutes of play, illustrating his high activity level and aggressive nature on the interior .Defensively he plays with focus and passion, using his strength to force tough shots in the post and chasing opponents on the perimeter . His massive weapon is definitely his 3-point shot. Tough to get stopped when he gets hot.
