Excels at scoring on off-ball motion plays

Summary:
Ian Martinez is a very athletic, energetic combo guard that currently plays for Utah State. He previously played for Utah and Maryland prior to transferring to Utah State, and he is a high-motor player that can score in a variety of ways. On the other hand, he will need to show NBA teams that he can reliably run the point, but his vast athleticism and considerable upside could enable him to compete for a roster spot in the NBA in the future.
