Thanks to Kuminga! The Hornets old player is secretly happy, and his partner Curry will usher in the peak of his career?

According to the NBA China official website, Golden State Warriors are interested in free agent Cody Martin.

Description Point 1: Position. Martin is 196, weighs 92 kilograms, and has a standard second-position figure, but in 5,678 minutes of his career so far, he accounts for 43% of the second-position and 49% of the third-position. Standard style of striker swingman playing.

Explanation point 2: Defense. The real plus-minus value of career defense is 0.8, and the just-concluded season 24-25 was as high as 1.1. It is roughly similar to Divincenzo and Dort.

1, against Paul George for 18 minutes and 15 seconds, the former made 8 of 20 shots, with a shooting rate of 40%;

2, against Tatum for 12 minutes and 04 seconds, the former made 3 of 8 shots, with a shooting rate of 37.5%;

3, against Cunningham for 8 minutes and 12 seconds, the former made 5 of 13 shots, with a shooting rate of 38.5%. According to the data, Martin's effect is still good when he is taller than his defensive forward line or player.

Of course, as the second round No. 36 pick in 2019, Martin was able to gain a foothold in the league because of his relatively good defense. In his seven years of career, he played for the Hornets for 6 and a half years. Averages 22.3 minutes per game, and the team rotates stably.

However, Martin's shortcomings are also obvious, that is, their lack of stability. Take three-pointers as an example, career shooting accounts for as high as 39.1%, which means that this is the main ending method but the shooting rate is only 30.8%.

The defense is relatively "explosive" but the offense is messed up. The distinctive characteristics are largely based on this. This is the main reason why no one has been interested in the free agent market since the opening of the free agent market - such as the Thunder, the Knicks, and the Cavaliers, there is no shortage of defenders; such as the Wizards, Jazz, and the Trail Blazers, the Barebacks, need to play the role players who are strong in attack and defense.

But then again, referring to Okogie getting a basic salary from the Rockets, Martin with similar characteristics has little problem getting a basic salary.

Speaking of this, Martin was able to attract the attention of the Warriors, and more thanks to Kumingga. To be precise, the latter "locked" the team's salary space, and Dunleavy can only use the basic salary that does not take up space at this stage.

Considering that there are not many interested teams, I think it is very likely that Martin and the Warriors will reach a basic salary. In addition, with Curry, I think this old Hornet player is expected to reach the peak of his career.

Reason 1: Opportunity. The defense efficiency of the former Warriors in the 24-25 season is 114.1, roughly the same level as the Kings and the Nets. After getting Butler, the All-Star value reached 109.3, ranking first in the league in the same period.

Relatively speaking, the Warriors lack defensive players, and defense is what Martin is good at, and opportunities are guaranteed to a certain extent.

Reason 2: Vacant. Curry made a total of 1,257 attempts in the 24-25 season, of which 482 were from the defender within 4 inches of the distance. Before attracting defensive ability, looking at it from another perspective is to create open opportunities for teammates.

To sum up two points, we can understand that we are at the peak of our career as:

First of all, from a career perspective, there is little possibility of a bad defensive end. Secondly, having Curry's restraint will at least promote the increase in vacancy opportunities. In this way, the "3D" attribute will be displayed, which has never been done in my career.
