Kelan Martin (2015-2018)

A true scoring machine, Kelan Martin was a four-year player that consistently filled it up offensively for Butler. Although one of the most recent players to earn a selection for this roster, Martin definitely deserves this spot as the second-leading scorer in program history (behind Chad Tucker from 1983-88. A lanky 6-foot-7 wing with the ability to let it fly from deep and attack the rim, Martin was a superstar in Indianapolis. He was an impact player for all four years and improved with each season.

During his senior season, in particular, Martin posted a Big East-leading 21.2 points per game en route to being named an Honorable Mention AP All-American. He reached the NCAA Tournament in all four of his collegiate seasons and won at least one game in each appearance. Martin was also selected to an All-Big East team during each of his final three seasons as he continuously made his mark as one of the best players in one of the best conferences in the country.

Martin was an easy choice to make the All-Decade Team for Butler as he has been the most impactful player to take the court for the program as a member of the Big East. Martin was originally recruited by Brad Stevens and then played under both Chris Holtmann and LaVall Jordan during his career.

Martin was a steadying presence on the roster amidst a ton of coaching turnover and that also deserves to be mentioned.
