Offensive Game
Physical finisher who converts at the rim; three-point consistency is the developmental priority — he has the mechanics to improve but needs volume and repetition.

Alijah Martin arrived in the NBA with a resume most rookies would envy: a Final Four run at Florida Atlantic in 2023, then a national title at Florida in 2025 after transferring for his final year. That's two different programs he helped carry deep into March. Toronto took him 39th in 2025 and handed him a two-way, where his defensive intensity and downhill athleticism translated faster than his jumper — he found his rhythm in the G League (18-plus a night) while learning the pro game in short bursts. The tell on Martin is his motor: he's the guy diving for the loose ball that flips a possession, the trait that earned him a standard two-year deal after his rookie season. The shooting still has to come around, but the winning habits are already there.
Offensive Game
Physical finisher who converts at the rim; three-point consistency is the developmental priority — he has the mechanics to improve but needs volume and repetition.
Defensive Game
Elite defensive motor for his age; physical strength and anticipation allow him to bother ball-handlers, guard multiple positions, and apply the kind of pressure that changes game tempo.
Intangibles
High-energy, intelligent defender who understands positioning and uses angles effectively; offensive IQ is still developing in terms of shot selection and creation.
