What I've learned.

Martin can still score and get to the line. He can make a lead balloon quick.

His defense is pathetic.

He plays too much.

Worst of all, maybe I'm seeing things, but Rubio plays a lot better without him because of how Rick uses Martin. They signed K-Mart to knock down open shots when presented, not phase Rubio out of the offense. That's what happens when the offense turns into a 2 man game with Love and Martin. The offense is better when Ricky picks his poison. The way Adelman uses Brewer is how I want the Wolves to use Martin. That's not happening so aside from the Golden State game, Martin only looks beneficial in blowouts.
Yep that sounds like Kmart. That's how he got the nickname Fools Gold

And Adelman loves that man to no fault. It seemed like in houston he either had really good games or nonexistent games. There was no middle which is expected cuz he's a one dimensional player. One thing he does do well is get the other team in foul trouble. He had a real bad habit of cherry picking for Houston too...

He does a good job drawing fouls, which for this team is tough outside of Love

Team is 34-40 at the line right now with 9 minutes left to go.

Martin off the bench would be perfect. Truth is this team is starting the wrong wings.

Next year it would be nice if we started Mbah A Moute (or our draft pick) and Muhammad and got some real energy off the bench with Brewer /Martin. Perfect balance.

Yeah y'all starting lineup is lacking versatility. Moving Kmart to bench would be perfect for him. Let him play that jcrawford role off the bench.

Wtf I thought that game was over a long time ago. I could have sworn yall were up by like 25+ in the 4th last time I checked...
They were up 19 with 5 minutes to go. Yeah Denver caught fire, but it shoulda never got to that point. If you're up 20 with 5 minutes to go, start removing guys. They can't possibly blow a lead faster, and if they come back, you have fresher starters. Luckily for us, they refused to deny Martin the ball.

Too many games Rick has blown doing this crap.

They needed 62 free throw attempts just to win by 4 in a game where they were up 25. This is tanking of the worst kind.
