KJ Martin

Martin played a career-high 28.0 minutes last season, starting for the Rockets over the final three months. He played in all 82 games, coming in as the 184th-ranked player in standard formats. With averages of 12.7 points, 5.5 rebounds and 0.9 combined steals and blocks, he served as a viable fantasy asset for much of the season, albeit one with limited upside. After being traded to the Clippers in the offseason, Martin finds himself in an uncertain situation. He will likely be battling Marcus Morris and Nicolas Batum for minutes at the power forward position. While both are more experienced, Martin provides them with a far more athletic option. To this point, his defensive abilities remain questionable, something he will have to improve should he hope to become a consistent fantasy contributor. He is an efficient scorer who runs the floor well, bringing pace to a team that could certainly do with a boost in that department. If he is listed as the starter to begin the season, he immediately moves into the standard league conversation.
