Long guard with defensive upside and emerging perimeter touch
Kalysta Martin is a 6'2" Texas Tech guard whose value comes from size, defensive versatility, and flashes of outside shooting more than volume scoring. In the 2025-26 season, she appeared in 13 games and averaged 3.4 minutes per game, while ESPN listed her at 0.7 points, 0.6 rebounds, and 0.3 assists per game with a 16.7% field-goal mark. Her fit is as a developmental two-way wing/guard who can add length, switchability, and low-mistake minutes; the main question is whether her shot creation can scale up with a bigger role.[2][3]
