The Atlanta Hawks guard room will look a lot different this year, and one of the newcomers is the team’s 2022 second-round draft pick Tyrese Martin.
The former UConn Huskie brings something that the Hawks have needed, which is toughness at the guard position. At 6’6, Martin has the height and the wingspan to get physical with some of the guards in today’s league.
Martin showed off some of what we could expect from him in the Summer League. In the first two games, he was fairly quiet, but by the third and fourth game, there were positive things to say about what he can do on both sides of the ball.
