Karla Martínez brings two-way guard grit and international pedigree to San Diego
Karla Martínez’s value is less about gaudy numbers and more about versatility, IQ, and toughness: San Diego described her as a “very versatile guard” with a high basketball IQ, a high motor, and strong coachability when she joined the program. In the 2020-21 season, she played 11 games, hit 36.4% from three, and added 4 steals and 3 assists, showing she can chip in as a perimeter threat and disruptor. She also battled injury setbacks earlier in her career, which makes her return-to-form story especially notable.
