Sam Martin brings efficient rim protection and high-finishing touch
Sam Martin’s most recent college production shows a versatile big who finishes efficiently, rebounds his area, and changes shots at the rim, making him more than a box-score scorer. In 2024-25 at Lenoir-Rhyne, he averaged 8.7 points, 4.3 rebounds, and 1.2 assists while shooting 60.9% and leading the team with 61 blocks, which points to real two-way value and defensive instincts.[1] He looks like a fit for teams needing a physical, low-usage connector who protects the paint and plays with reliable energy rather than flash.[1]
