Alijah Martin’s Grit and Shooting Test | Toronto Raptors News

Alijah Martin’s NBA dream just got a big boost—signed a two-year, $4.8M deal with the Raptors after dazzling in the G League, where he averaged 18.4 points and earned All-G League Third Team honors. Though his NBA debut last season was limited (23 games, 2.2 PPG), his relentless hustle and defensive grit align perfectly with coach Darko Rajakovic’s system. The real test? Getting his shooting back on track—he’s struggled mightily from the field and three-point range in the NBA, despite being a reliable shooter in college and the G League. With Summer League sidelined due to knee inflammation, Martin’s chance to prove himself is now tied to his offensive development. If he can bridge that gap, he could become a key rotational piece for Toronto’s defense-first roster. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
