Versatility, Flexibility and Adaptability? Rookie Cody Martin Fits the Mold

Never before has the NBA landscape been more welcoming to position-less players with all-around skillsets and ample experience. And that’s what makes the Hornets’ early second-round selection this past June of combo guard Cody Martin such a promising one.

It’s been quite a long road for Martin, who grew up about an hour north of his new NBA base in Mocksville, NC. From Davie County High School, to prep powerhouse Oak Hill Academy, then N.C. State and finally the University of Nevada, the soon-to-be 24-year-old has been utilized in a variety of different roles throughout his career.

“It’s kind of open,” Martin said in an interview with Hornets.
