Tyronn Lue Sees Kenyon Martin Jr. Playing Multiple Positions
1 year agoLos Angeles Clippers forward Kenyon Martin Jr. starts out the season mainly as Kawhi Leonard's backup, but he can expect to be used in multiple positions. "I see him as a basketball player at the three, four, five, wherever we can use him," Clippers head coach Tyronn Lue said of Martin Jr. "Just his athleticism, being able to switch, being able to guard different positions, being able to roll to the basket, run the floor." His versatility will give Martin Jr. a chance to pick up minutes in various situations, but he will definitely need to cope with a lesser role compared to his final year in Houston, when the 22-year-old was a starter for around half of the games and averaged 28.0 minutes a night.
