BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues
ROSTERED IN: 4% of leagues
ANALYSIS: While not quite there, Kenyon Martin Jr. can't be closer to his pops career averages with the numbers he's putting up this season. KJ Martin is averaging a 11-5-1 line to his pops' 12-7-2. Again, still not there but slowly but surely approaching it.
It's going to take a lot for the son to do even half of what his father did in the Association (All-Rookie team member, one-time All-Star) but Houston gave the kid another chance after a disappointing couple of years in the organization and he's paid the Rockets back for good.
KJ is having his best season (22 games played) nearly beating all of his prior career-high marks on all fronts whether that's points per game, rebounds, dimes, and field-goal percentage. He's putting up an 11-5-1 line and contributing 0.9 stocks a pop this season.
The minutes have gone down a bit of late but they are still into the 15+ more nights than not (Martin logged 14 minutes on Nov. 26 but that's the only time he's fallen so far down the playing order). In the past two weeks (six games) KJ has averaged 23 MPG while still hitting his season-long 11-5-1 line.
Martin Jr. is not shooting a lot (7.5+ FGA per game) but he hits them well enough and comes with 3-point shooting prowess (nearly 1.0 3PM per game). The rebounds are great and the block might come back a bit after they were there in the early stages of the season.
