It can be recalled that Martin declared a couple of times for the NBA draft during his collegiate career before ultimately finishing his five years.
He first played for the Arizona State Sun Devils for four years before transferring to Kansas for his final year of eligibility.
During the NCAA Tournament with Kansas, Martin won Midwest Regional MVP en route to the championship.
The 23-year-old joins the likes of Filipino-American Ron Harper Jr. and 7'3" Kai Sotto as prospects with links to the country in the upcoming draft.
Martin, like Sotto, has been under the radar in draft projections but recently boosted his stock following his championship conquest with the Jayhawks.
He previously expressed his desire to represent the Philippines in international competitions.
