Raptors' Alijah Martin: All-around effort in SL rout
Rotowire
Martin generated 16 points (6-12 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 2-2 FT), five rebounds, five assists and two steals during 21 minutes of Friday's 116-72 Summer League win over Chicago.
Martin dazzled in his NBA debut, scoring the second-most points on the Raptors while shooting 50 percent from the field. The 6-foot-2 guard showcased his athleticism and versatility while rounding out his stat line with a handful of rebounds and assists. The No. 39 pick in the 2025 NBA Draft will be on a two-way contract as a rookie, but he could be on the fast track to NBA regular-season action if he continues to perform like he did Friday.

Rotowire
Martin signed a two-way contract with the Raptors on Thursday, Coty Wiles of RaptorsRepublic.com reports.
Martin, who was selected by the Raptors with the No. 39 overall pick in the 2025 NBA Draft, figures to spend a considerable amount of time in the G League to open the 2025-26 campaign. He averaged 14.4 points, 4.5 rebounds, 2.2 assists and 1.5 steals per game in his lone year with Florida, and he's likely to play a featured role for the Raptors in Summer League.

Raptors' Alijah Martin: Selected by Raptors
Rotowire
Martin was selected by the Raptors with the No. 39 overall pick in the 2025 NBA Draft.
Martin played a prominent role in the Gators' 2024-25 National Championship campaign, averaging 14.4 points, 4.5 rebounds, 2.2 assists and 1.5 steals per game in his lone year with Florida. He's expected to see minutes off the bench with Toronto and should adjust well on the defensive side of the ball, but he needs to be more consistent with his three-point shot to become a reliable weapon on offense. Martin should fight for minutes in the rotation as a rookie, but don't expect him to make waves in fantasy.
