Ryan Martin (1991 Born) Is One of the BEST Players of His Generation!

By Sam Neter on October 14, 2012

After a successful 2010/11 season at Bridgton Academy, a prep school in Maine, being ranked top 100 in the US at his position and having been touted as one of the top talents in the UK for a number of years before, Ryan Martin (1991 born) disappeared off the radar last season. Despite receiving interest from a number of NCAA Division 1 schools, Martin was ruled ineligible due to his academics.

Understandably, it was a huge blow for Ryan who then spent a year in the gym alone, honing his game and working on his skills, not playing a second of competitive ball all season.

It’d be easy to assume he dropped off, but showing up at The Pro Classic this summer, it became immediately apparant that the former Hackney White Heat and Westminster Warrior player has, if anything, got better.

His talent hasn’t gone unnoticed by JUCO South Plains College who have snapped him up for the coming season….they are the defending national champions, going 36-0 last season and will be looking to do the same again this year.

Check out some of the best highlights we’ve caught on tape of Ryan over the past 2 years. At 6’8″, the former England U18 & GB U20 has range out to the three, can handle the ball, has decent vision and can get above the rim…this one is loooong overdue!

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.
