Kansas Basketball: Why Remy Martin can win 2021-22 Big 12 Player of the Year

Playmaking ability

Martin showcased in his first matchup against Kansas, a knack for jumping passing lines and making tough contested layups look effortless. His body control when going up is flashes of Projected lottery pick Davion Mitchell.

Although not quite as quick to the basket, his control of the ball and making blocks on layups look so avoidable is really unique.

Regardless of which side of the basket he goes to, Martin seems to always finish with his right hand. Although it is his dominant hand, he would finish with that one, considering the contest. on it. That was more so the case toward the beginning of his career, as his junior season, he used the left more often than previously.

Martin’s ability to pick the pocket has been the best over the past four seasons fans in Tempe have been able to see.

Kansas’s issue last year was a true scoring point guard, that can consistently go out and get 16+ points a game. With Martin into the fold, with an abundance of players returning, he has all the tools and assets around him to be successful and his playmaking ability is one of his trademarks in that.
