The New York Knicks signed Jaylen Martin to a two-way deal on Monday.

The 19-year-old played last season with the Overtime Elite's YNG Dreamerz.

Martin was originally rated as a four-star recruit heading into the 2022 class.

Thoughts? Is he a SG? Do we really need another 6-5ish SG in development? Can he play point?

Can he play PF? We really should have our summer league roster full of guys 6’7”+

He is a SG/SF. He is 6'6" with long arms, but since he is only 19 years old, there is a chance he could grow another inch or two. He has all the physical tools (good length, solid leaper, good defensive instincts, and athletic). By the end of the year, this kid's shot improved, and he played well in the OTE playoffs (24.7 PPG, 9.3 RPG, 43/38/68 splits, 38% from 3 on nearly 10 attempts per game, in three games in the semi-finals playoff series). If he can keep developing his offensive game, this kid could become a quality NBA player. He needs probably two years of development, and we should keep him in the G league for now, but I am very interested in what he looks like in 2025.

Can we take a page from the Miami Heat book with undrafted players? And you can’t have too much talent, whatever the position.

He seems like the guy with the most promise. I heard he can’t shoot a lick though. We will see.
