2. Philly gets another versatile weapon with Martin
In a league that is touting positionless basketball, versatility is a key hallmark of any successful team. Without question, Martin brings the kind of versatility that Philadelphia lacked at the power forward position with the skillset to also play small forward and shooting guard.
An above-average defender, Martin and George will be an awesome combination that would be a major upgrade to the 76ers’ perimeter defense. Heat coach Erik Spoelstra has always glowingly raved about his versatile offerings, especially from a multi-positional aspect.
"His versatility is vital to our group," Spoelstra said. "Night after night after night, he's taking on all the different challenges this league can present. Whether he's guarding the small, super-quick guys or whether he's guarding the bigger wings or that he's switching onto centers. Our defense seems to be more active and fast when he's out on the court.”
