    Man this guy is sick! 6 blocks and now he's scoring like 20 or so a game. The only thing against before the season is his offense and now he's developed a jumper. Other than his height i don't see much wrong with this guy.

    Is it me or does this guy resemble Carlos Rogers? They are similar in height, known for their shotblocking and defense. I haven't seen him enough to say he's a shorter version of Zo.

    Not sure what he was doing in college, but Carlos Rogers definitely is not known for his shot blocking.

    Martin is 6'9 and rogers is 6'11.

    Martin does remind me of mourning. This guy is a great player and i think houston should try the best they can to get him. I think he would be a top 3 pick.

    Dr-I remember the broadcaster saying when Dream, Cato, Rogers, Shandon, Francis were on the floor against the lakers awhile back that there were 3 shotblockers on the floor. Unless shandon or francis is that I assumed Rogers was the 3rd shotblocker.

    Per 35 minutes he averages 0.87 blocks per game.

    Per 35 minutes Cato averages 3.61 blocks per game.

    Per 35 minutes Olajuwon averages 2.27 blocks per game.

    The broadcasters need to quit looking at his highlights... [​IMG]

    Is this guy in the NBA, yet?

    Are we talking about the draft before we know our position and all the underclassmen coming out?

    This Martin weekly report is misplaced, IMO.

    This BBS does have other forums for talking about boys. This is the Rockets forum. We like to separate the men from the boys, here. [​IMG]

    Be thankful, it could've been another "Hey, what about Sam Mack" thread... [​IMG]

    Perhaps the broadcaster had in mind that the Rockets were playing a 6'11" guy at small forward. He should be able to get a few blocks at that position.
