Alijah Martin’s NBA Summer League debut with the Toronto Raptors could not have gone any better.

Martin finished with 16 points off the bench on July 11, lifting the Raptors to a 116-72 win over the Chicago Bulls.

The former Florida basketball guard went 6-of-12 from the field and 2-of-4 from 3-point range while adding five rebounds, five assists and two steals, displaying the athleticism that prompted the Raptors to select the 6-foot-2 Martin in the second round (39th overall) of the NBA Draft.

Martin announced his presence with authority, slamming home a high-flying dunk for his first summer league basket, similar to the dunks he put on display for the Florida Gators during the Final Four in San Antonio.

Martin was a key cog both offensively and defensively during UF’s run to a third national title in school history, averaging 14.4 points and 4.5 rebounds with 56 steals.

Clayton added six rebounds and three assists, playing both on-and-off the ball for the Jazz in their 111-105 loss to the Charlotte Hornets.
