Do you think there's any chance Hass gets drafted tonight some time in the 2nd round?

Once you hit the mid to late second round, teams basically just pick whoever they like, since the concept of value and big boards don't really apply that much. That being said, he's only been invited in for a handful of workouts and there's pretty much zero draft buzz on him, so it seems more likely that he's a summer league, NBADL or international player.

no

A handful? How many teams do players try out for?

Hm, I'm actually not sure, now that I think about it. But for him, I think another thread only mentioned one or two visits. If you're a guy on the fringes of the draft, I'd think that you would take as many invites and workouts as possible. I haven't heard or read anything about him being drafted.

It wouldn't surprise me if he did or did not make the league at some point, via the NBADL or summer ball process. He's obviously got good length and can play some defense, and once you get in past the 10th guy or so on a roster, it comes down to a GM or coach's personal preference on how you construct your roster. I think it's way more likely that he plays internationally - the same with Iverson - but it's not crazy to me that they could get a cup of coffee in the NBA.

Bentil barely got drafted last year and was younger with a more NBA ready body, so no, I don't see Martin getting drafted.

Off the top of my head, Martin worked out for:

Celtics
Knicks
Nuggets
Raptors
Bucks
Mavericks

That's 20 percent of the NBA... and that's only what has been reported. There could be more for all we know.

Additionally, the Nets could be interested? Good piece here.

I'm cheering for HM!!!!

The Celtics have a bunch of 2nd rounders. Maybe they give the local kid a shot.

Darn it I was hoping to hear there names called

Summer league it is. Never give up!

Did any A10 players get drafted?

Yeah, that can't help recruiting....

The A-10, as a league, has had only two players in total selected in the last FIVE NBA drafts (2016 #21 DeAndre' Bembry-St Joe's/2015 #55 Cady LaLanne). Providence College, on its own, for comparison had two players selected in a single year (2016-Dunn & Bentil) and another chosen in 2013 (Ledo). Players from the A-10 for the most part are no longer getting drafted. The NBA draft is more and more going after foreign players and underclassmen (most A-10 players play the full four years).

Surprised Kuran hasn't ended up on a summer league team yet.

So if I am reading the schedule correctly, Hassan's first game will be Saturday at 1pm ET and air on NBA TV.

Nice!

Looks like an uphill battle for Hass to get a spot on the training camp roster.
https://www.google.com/amp/orlandomagic ... -team/amp/

Only 6 NCAA player, all others are Professionals. That is tough.

On the flip side, if he practices well with players who already had a year of experience and practicing with professional teams then that is a feather in his cap.

Hass got no playing time in his first summer league game :/

Sucks he didn't even get in. Looking at the box score there were a lot of guys who didn't play. I never follow summer league much, does anybody know if this happens much and then a lot of those guys will get some time today? Hope Hassan gets a chance at least.

Just checked the box score from Sunday's game and deuces were wild for Hassan. 2 minutes, 2 points on FTs, 2 fouls. Unfortunately a plus/minus of -5 over those 2 mins. Based on the recap I can't tell if his PT came during garbage time but I presume so. Looks like the Magic started the game 21-0 and 32-9 after the 1st quarter and coasted from there.

He played the last couple of minutes in the first half.

Too bad he isn't getting more of a chance. Obviously it was going to be a long shot for him either way, but would have been nice to see him get a chance to show more in these games.

Got it, that makes the most sense in explaining the -5. Magic were significantly outscored that quarter.

Hass is gething some run today. Has 3 pts and 4 rebounds as they go into the half.

Hass has played 11 minutes. 1-3 FGs, 1-2 FTs, 3 of his 4 rebounds on the offensive end

Martin now with 7 points, 5 rebounds in 15 minutes vs Dallas Mavericks with 6 minutes left in the 4th quarter. Last 2 points were a nice running dunk
Martin comes out with 2 minutes to go. Nice effort today:
- 20 minutes played
- 3-5 FG, 3-4 FTs for 9 points
- 6 Rebounds (3 offensive)
- 1 Block, 1 TO, 1 PF
- Nice in that Dallas was one of the teams Martin worked out for.

Gotta see the dunk!
Missed this game.
Hope he keeps getting some PT in the next couple games.

Yea heard about a great dunk and block, any way to see that on video??

There we go, thats much more like it!

adam914 wrote:There we go, thats much more like it!

Nice find Adam.
Martin's Dunk is fast and ferocious at the 7:25 point of this tape. Off a nice pass from Georges-Hunt
At the 2:10 point Martin has a nice rebound and putback amongst a lot of rebounding traffic
Martin is #42

From an article in Orlando sentinel......

At FSU, Isaac gained a reputation for unselfishness. And on Thursday, he did nothing to dispel that notion. During a question-and-answer session with reporters, someone asked him to name his favorite highlight from the Magic’s practices. Isaac answer was telling because it hinted at his priorities: Isaac raved about a dunk by summer league teammate Hassan Martin.

Great to see this and great to hear that Orlando number one pic respects Hassan so much.

Hass also knocked down a baseline jumper in that clip. He's gotta do that consistently to have a chance.
I think he'll be playing in the D-league next season.



Edit : G-league!

Man I'm gonna miss those one handed slams from Hassan...

Could mean more PT for HM today and tomorrow...

Hopefully!
The magic also released Zimmerman, so that's two guys that were getting significant playing time gone.
Unleash hell on them Hass!

HM gets the start today versus the NY Knicks. He starts along with Wesley Iwundu, Przemek Karnowski, Marcus Georges-Hunt and Kalin Lucas.
Knicks start Jamel Artis F, Nigel Hayes F, Marshall Plumlee C, Damyean Dotson G and Chasson Randle G.

Martin played 14 minutes in 1st half. 2-5 FGs, 1-1 FTs for 5 points. He had a nice 3 point play where he got fouled and made the FT. Also 2 nice assists in the 1st half. 2 rebounds, 1 TO, 1 Offensive Foul. +8 for him as Orlando leads 46-41 at the half. 1 Defensive Goaltending.

Martin 23 minutes
4-11 FG, 4-5 FT for 12 points, 7 rebounds, 2 assists, 2 TO, 2 Blocked Shots,
Finished with a +15 which was the highest of any player in the game. Marcus Georges-Hunt was 2nd highest with +11
So proud of this guy

I'm so happy he got a chance to show what he can do.

That's a pretty good showing by Hass considering the opposing forwards and center. NICE!!!!

He's good enough to be in the NBA , let's keep pushing has!!!

Interesting Read.......12 players from the A10 on NBA Summer League Rosters
