Toronto Raptors guard Alijah Martin is off to a productive start in the G League, and the two-way rookie can see improvement in his game since the start of training camp.

Martin has spent most of the year with the Raptors 905, averaging 19.6 points, 3.9 rebounds, 2.5 assists and 1.4 steals while shooting 41.2% from 3-point range in 17 games. He has appeared in every game for the 905 since the season began on Nov. 7.

The 39th pick helped the 905 to their best start in franchise history (16-0) before falling to the Salt Lake City Stars in the G League Winter Showcase title game. He produced a season-high 33 points and six rebounds in that loss on Monday.

“The game is all about winning,” Martin told Rookie Wire. “The game is all about stopping your man from scoring and impacting everyone, and that’s what I’ve been focusing on. Obviously, you work on your game in the offseason, but during the season, you got to find a way to help the team win.”

Martin currently ranks 18th among all players in the G League in total scoring (300 points) and 28th in 3-pointers (38). He has scored in double figures in every appearance and is one of 15 players with at least three 30-point performances this season.

The 24-year-old was honored as the G League Player of the Week for games played Dec. 1-7, becoming the first rookie to win the award this season. He ranked second in the G League in points (78) and seventh in field goals (25), leading the 905 to a 3-0 record that week.

“I’ve been down here getting reps all year,” Martin said. “I feel myself getting better. I’m just waiting on the opportunity, staying patient, trusting God’s timing and trusting their timing, as well. We’re just going to keep stacking days.”

Martin joined the Raptors after a five-year college career between Florida Atlantic and Florida. He led the Owls to the Final Four in 2023 before helping the Gators to their third national title last season, becoming the first player to start with two teams in the national semifinal round.

The 6-foot-2 guard believes that high-level experience has helped prepare him to contribute with the Raptors and 905. By the looks of it, Martin is flourishing this season, as a result.

“It helped me prepare in most ways because I’ve been on the side of losing and I’ve been on the side of winning,” Martin said. “I’ve been on the side with adversity and injuries, and I’ve been on the side of trying to figure out how to win games. The college journey has helped me a whole ton, and I had a lot of experience with that.”
