He played at Saint Joseph's University from 1982 to 1986[1] and was an Associated Press honorable mention All-American in his senior year. The 1986 Atlantic 10 Player of the Year,[2] he was a three-time selection to both the All-Conference team and the All-Big 5 squad. He is one of five Saint Joseph's Hawks to be chosen in the first round of the NBA Draft (drafted by the Denver Nuggets, taken 16th overall) 1986 NBA draft. Martin played two seasons in the NBA, averaging 3.0 points per game in 69 games for the Nuggets.[1] Martin was then selected by the Minnesota Timberwolves in the 1989 NBA expansion draft, but never played for the team, and ended up retiring completely from the NBA at the age of just 24 due to chronic knee pain.[3] He is still the only player from Sullivan County, NY to ever play in the NBA.
