Tyrese Martin is a physical 3-and-D wing who built his reputation on toughness and rebounding for his position, a rare trait he honed at UConn after transferring from Arizona. His NBA path has read like a journeyman's: he developed with Atlanta, found real minutes in Brooklyn during the Nets' rebuild, then got caught in the business side when Brooklyn waived him at the February 2026 trade deadline to complete a deal. Philadelphia scooped him up on a two-way weeks later, splitting his time with the G League's Delaware Blue Coats. At 6'6" with a sturdy frame, he profiles as a connective role player who spaces the floor, competes on the glass, and defends wings — the kind of low-usage glue piece rebuilders and contenders both value. He is still fighting to convert two-way status into a permanent roster spot.
Offensive Game
Limited offensive output; primarily a catch-and-shoot player who relies on teammates to create his opportunities.
Defensive Game
His defining skill — active, physical defender with the length and effort to guard across multiple positions.
Intangibles
Good defensive instincts and clear role understanding; still developing his feel for offensive execution at NBA pace.
Did You Know?
Martin went undrafted in 2022 despite possessing the defensive tools NBA teams covet, using G League performance to earn his first contract.
His connection to UConn links him to one of the premier programs in college basketball under Dan Hurley.
Growing up in Atlanta exposed Martin to a competitive basketball culture that shaped his physical, defense-first approach.
He is one of several recent undrafted players to find sustained NBA opportunity through switchable defense and professional work habits.
