U a wall 7 WCUs Asia Davis Earns Junior All-American ewsmagazine Kevin Martin dr ed for NBA |) by Ben Brooks | WCnewsmagazine jursday June 24 was a big night for not only it for Western Carolina University as well. r from Zanesville, Ohio, had been a Southern Conference standout since his freshman year at Western Carolina, and is continuing his rising popularity. By keeping his name in the NBA draft, which started on Thursday, Martin made a good decision as he was chosen by Sacramento in the first round. Kevin became the first player in WCU history to be chosen in the first round as the twenty-sixth pick was more than elated after having been selected by his favorite NBA team. Martin was chosen after over a dozen workouts with half of the NBAs teams. He will now be amidst the likes of Vilade Divac, Mike Bibby, Chris Webber and Doug Christie, who have proven to be some of the big guns * among the stars of the National Basketball Association. Martin, in a recent interview said, I would like to 4, thank everyone in Cullowhee and Ohio who gave me the opportunity to pursue my dream. | would also like to - give a special thanks to my teammates and coaching staff for putting me in a position to succeed. Martin led _ the Southern Conference in scoring the last two years he played for the Catamounts and has proven himself a vital threat to any team. K-Mart, as his teammates points per game and had several impressive games where he scored over 30 points; including two in which he scored 44 and 46. Martins over all scoring tally was 1,838 points, which ranks him fourth on Western Carolinas all-time scoring list and w as the teams all time scoring leader since 1976-77 when WCU moved up to NCAA Division |. In an exclusive release to the Asheville Citizen-Times, Martin wrote, I will never forget the opportunity coach Shurina gave me, giving me a scholarship and allowing me to become an important part of our offense as a true freshman. Indeed, Martin was an integral part of the Catamount offense. A major threat, Martin had great body control and was an exceptional shooter. His total three-point percentage was 34.6, making 172 in his career, as well as an impressive 46.2 percentage of field goals made. Shooting free throws was another strong point of Kevins, as he made 84.1 percent total, never having a season below 80. A6-7, 195 lb. shooting guard, Martin has proven to be light on his feet, having great quickness for a guard at his height. His ability to shoot off the screen is as good as anyone in the NBA. His dribbling capacity helps to create a distance between himself and his defenders and can take interesting and hard angles to the basket. K-Mart definitely has a mind for the game and is a tough scorer to stop. On defense, Martin is a different kind of threat. With his long reach and quickness, he is able to get a hand in the face of shooters and seems to put himself in the right places to find a plethora of blocks and steals. He is constantly aware of his surroundings and is able to figure out what the other team is doing very quickly. Having all those accomplishments, Kevin Martin continues to realize where his weaknesses lie. Even if | improved every facet of my game, there would still be that could of inferior competition. It is unfair, as the Southern Conference has proved to be filled with great athletes, players and teams. But it is a reality- one | had to face, Martin told the Asheville Citizen-Times. He also realizes his important need for training ber of releases have suggested that Martin spend time in the weight room bulking up in order to physicality of the leagues demands. Agreeably so, Martin must work on his physical strength d with the leagues biggest and strongest. Weight training is a necessary aspect of any sport, od physical strength and conditioning is as essential to athletics as talent itself. na coach Steve Shurina said, I wish Kevin the best of luck in pursuing his dream. | am glad re for three years. We sill have great talent coming back next year and | look forward to continue building this program. Coach Shurina helped to develop Martin and realizes that he will be greatly missed among his teammates and fellow friends and students at WCU. Sacramento will be Martins new home for a while and he realizes that he couldnt have done it completely alone, I will also never forget the upport | received from the Cats fans and my teammates and coaches. It has been a great three amily and | will cherish them forever. Martin leaves an empty space on the Catamount roster; @ secures a place in WCUs record books and in the memories of his fans, teammates and friends.
