According to reports from Hoops Rumors NBA reporter Michael Scotto, the Washington Wizards have cut off Jaylen Martin, a wing player who previously held a two-way contract.

Martin was born in January 2004 and is 21 years old, 198cm tall and weighs 98kg. He is the undraft in the 2023 NBA Draft. Martin signed a two-way contract with the New York Knicks after the draft, but was cut by the team before the regular season began. After spending some time in the NBA Development League, in February last year, Martin signed a two-way contract with the Brooklyn Nets, and in January this year he was cut by the team again. In February this year, the Wizards gave Martin another two-way contract, and he also played for the Wizards in the second half of last season.

In the NBA regular season last season, Martin played 16 times for the Nets and the Wizards, averaging 14.9 minutes per game, with averaging 4.9 points, 2.8 rebounds, 1.1 assists and 0.6 steals, 0.8 turnovers and 0.9 fouls, with a shooting percentage of 41.9%, a three-point shooting percentage of 30.4%, and a free throw shooting percentage of 90.4%. In the NBA Development League last season, Martin played 31 times on behalf of the Nets' subordinate team, the Nets' subordinate team, the Philadelphia 76ers' subordinate team, and the Wizards' subordinate team, Gogo, 31 times, averaging 26.9 minutes per game, averaging 13.5 points, 3.7 rebounds, 2.1 assists, 0.5 steals and 0.5 blocks, and 1 turnover and 1.9 fouls. He shot 45.9%, three-point shooting percentage 27.5%, and free throw shooting percentage 71%.

Martin did not get much playing time and performance opportunities in the NBA. His role on the court is very limited, and his data is also very bleak. Not only that, Martin's performance in the NBA Development League is also a bit disappointing. He also did not show particularly outstanding personal abilities. His data is not dominant, and his role on the court is quite average. He cannot play his greatest value on both offense and defense. The most important thing is that compared with the 2023-24 season, his performance has not made a substantial improvement, and his data has almost no obvious breakthrough, which makes people feel a little worried about his ability and potential. Martin has also been in the NBA and NBA Development League for two seasons. Logically speaking, he should have performed more dominantly. I don’t know how the situation will develop next. After Martin was given up by the Wizards, can he still get a contract from an NBA team and stay in the NBA field next season?
