More Martin: "Especially being (with coach Rick) Adelman, & their starting lineup just needed a 2-guard, so I feel like it’s a perfect fit."

Martin, 30, averaged 14 points per game off the bench in Oklahoma City last season, and he shot a blistering 42.6 percent from three.
His career scoring average of 17.4 points per game includes seven straight seasons from 2006-2011 where he averaged at least 20 points per game.
Zach Harper writes that Minnesota won’t have any trouble scoring points next season, but will they be able to defend?
