Ryan Martin Heads to Dinamo Sassari for Pre-Season

By Bradley Gains on August 29, 2016

Ryan Martin is off to Italy for pre-season after joining Dinamo Sissari – where he will stand in for fellow Brit, Gabe Olaseni.

The 6’9″ forward finished his college career at Tennessee Tech and joins the Serie A side on a short-term deal while Olaseni is representing GB in the EuroBasket 2017 Qualifiers.

Martin averaged 14 points per game in his senior year and hopes to remain with the club, but is allowed to leave should he receive an offer from another club during the pre-season spell.

The rookie is not the only Brit looking to impress in Italy with GB center Zak Wells also out in pre-season with Serie A2 side, Sana 1871.

Dinamo Sassari are competing in the inaugural Basketball Champions League this season and it was recently confirmed, that they will now start the competition in the Regular Season having been initially placed in the Qualifying Rounds.

Check out Martin’s highlights from the 2015-16 season:

Do you like our work?

We have a tiny favour to ask. In 2018 we set out to make Hoopsfix sustainable by building our relationship directly with our readers. Up until now, Hoopsfix has been creating editorials, videos and podcasts to provide sorely missing coverage of the British game and its distinct culture and community.

We have funded Hoopsfix with our freelance work creating basketball media, but sadly that means not only does it fall behind our client’s priorities, but some of those clients are the same organisations we need to report objectively on putting us in a conflicted position.

We want to devote more time to our mission of helping British basketball reach its potential, and produce even more content for the basketball community by making Hoopsfix a sustainable 100% independent business funded directly by our readers through Patreon.

If everyone who enjoys our content chose to support us, our future would be much more secure. For as little as $3 per month, you can support Hoopsfix – and it only takes a minute.

We are tremendously honoured and humbled to have a community of people who value what we do, and we look forward to being at the forefront of the British game as it continues to evolve.
