The Atlanta Hawks made a trade with the Golden State Warriors on draft day 2022 to acquire the 51st pick, Tyrese Martin.
Martin wasn't on anybody's mock drafts, so he immediately had a chip on his shoulder when he came in. He turned his opportunity into gold during the NBA 2K23 Summer League with the Hawks, where he showcased an array of skills on both sides of the ball.
That landed him a contract with the Hawks, but he saw most of his time with the College Park Skyhawks where was able to work on his game, averaging 18 points, 9.
