Fantasy Analysis
Martin spent the first part of the season in China before joining the Iowa Energy of the D-Leaue for seven games, and he seemed to perform well at both stops, so it is not terribly surprising to see him in game shape. What might be surprising is how scorching hot he has been through the first two games, making 12 of his first 19 shots from the field. The Wizards have been dealing with some injuries in the front court, so it is possible that Martin could make an impact down the stretch. Keep an eye on his performance moving forward, as he may emerge as a sleeper late in the season. (Updated 03/31/2012).
