Bio

Martin competed for the Catamounts from 2001-04, and was named All-SoCon by the coaches and the media each season on campus.

He averaged 23.3 points per game during his three-year Western Carolina career, including 24.9 points per game as a junior in 2003-04, which was second nationally. Martin was the only non-ACC member to be named to the 10-player All-District teams by both the United States Basketball Writers Association (USBWA) and the National Association of Basketball Coaches (NABC) in 2003-04.

He was drafted in the first round (26th overall) by the Sacramento Kings in the 2004 NBA Draft, becoming Western Carolina's first first-round draft pick in any of the major professional sports.

The native of Zanesville, Ohio, was inducted into the Western Carolina Hall of Fame in 2019 and had his No. 32 retired by the Catamounts on Dec. 9, 2023.

Martin was named to the SoCon 100th Anniversary Team in 2021.
