UT Martin’s old-school glass cleaner and high-efficiency finisher
Javier Martinez built his UT Martin reputation as a physical, high-IQ forward who punishes teams on the glass and finishes with elite efficiency; in the 2016-17 season, he posted 10 double-doubles in 16 OVC games and shot 67.7% from the field, with a league-best stretch that included a 22-point, 21-rebound game and a program-first Division I 20-20 outing. He’s the kind of forward a coach loves: relentless motor, strong rebounding instincts, and a nose for impact plays rather than empty possessions. If your team wants toughness, interior production, and a no-fuss competitor, he fits the bill.
