After making a name for himself during the 2023 playoffs, Martin enters the 2023-24 season with a small amount of momentum. Despite the fanfare, he barely finished inside the top 150, averaging 9.6 points to go with 4.8 rebounds, 1.0 steals and 1.2 three-pointers. The Heat are very thin when it comes to depth at the forward position, meaning Martin should once again play a significant role. With that said, it is hard to see him making substantial improvements based on what we have seen from him over the past two years. He is worth a look toward the backend of drafts, although, by that point, managers should really be searching for someone with more upside. Read Past Outlooks
$Signed a two-year, $13.28 million contract with the Heat in July of 2022. Contract includes $7.13 million player option for 2024-25.
Personal Bio/PreCareer Summary
Caleb Martin was born in 1995 in Mocksville, North Carolina to Jenny Bennett. He has a twin brother, Cody, who was selected by the Hornets in the second round of the 2019 Draft. The two attended hometown Davie County High School for three years, with Caleb also playing football during his freshman season. For their senior season, they transferred to the famed Oak Hill Academy in Virginia on a team that compiled a 41-4 record. Heading into college, Martin was ranked the No. 46 recruit by Scout.com, No. 60 via Rivals, and No. 62 in ESPN's Top 100. You can follow him on Twitter (@Calebmartin14) and Instagram (@caleb_martin10). Martin spent his entire four-year collegiate career playing with his brother Cody. The duo began at North Carolina State, where Caleb appeared in 36 games as a freshman, averaging 4.8 points and 2.9 rebounds. Martin's role expanded his sophomore year, as he started 19 games and averaged 11.5 PPG. He was especially effective early in that season, averaging 16.8 points over the first eight games of the year. Caleb and his brother then elected to transfer and sit out the 2016-17 season before committing to their final landing spot in Nevada. Martin's production ramped up significantly playing in the Mountain West, as he was named Conference Player of the Year his junior season after averaging 18.9 points and 5.4 rebounds. Martin spent much of his senior year on Wooden Award watchlists, but he was also named First Team All-MWC and made the All-Defense Team. Furthermore, Martin led the conference in three-pointers made with 107 that year. He went undrafted, but he signed an Exhibit 10 contract with the Hornets the following summer.
Scores 10 points off bench
FMiami Heat
June 13, 2023
Martin chipped in 10 points (4-9 FG, 0-4 3Pt, 2-2 FT), five rebounds, one assist, one block and one steal across 32 minutes during Monday's 94-89 loss to the Nuggets in Game 5 of the NBA Finals.
ANALYSIS Martin was an offensive revelation during Miami's postseason run, posting 12.7 points on 52/42/82 shooting splits across 23 appearances. The undrafted forward out of Nevada signed a two-year deal with a player option for 2024-25 last offseason, so he figures to be a core piece of the Heat's rotation for at least one more campaign.

Bam Adebayo is charged with guarding Nikola Jokic and figures to log hefty minutes, positioning him for a DFS-worthy stat line. He should claim a multiplier spot in Yahoo! lineups Wednesday as a result.
Although Nikola Jokic's salary has increased on FanDuel ahead of Game 3 on Wednesday, he still has a chance to provide solid DFS value. Jeff Edgerton analyzes his favorite plays.
ANALYSIS Martin could be included in a potential Damian Lillard blockbuster, but if he's not, he might end up as a free agent. The Heat forward can opt out of his $7.1 million salary for the 2024-25 season next summer, a smart move if he's able to play like he did in the postseason.
Martin had a surprisingly large role for the Heat last season, and there is a decent chance his 22.9 minutes per game increases this season. With the departure of P.J. Tucker, there is the potential for Martin to slide into the starting lineup at forward. He started 12 games last season when injuries ravaged the team. His season averages of 9.2 points, 3.8 rebounds, 1.1 assists, 1.0 steals and 0.5 blocks improved to 13.7 points, 5.3 rebounds, 1.3 assists, 0.8 blocks and 0.7 steals in those starts. His efficiency was also impressive, shooting 50.7 percent from the field, 41.3 percent from three and 76.3 percent from the line. Martin is also one of the team's better defenders, ensuring he receives consistent minutes throughout the season. Even if Martin does not end up moving into the starting lineup, he will be an option in deeper leagues, as he should consistently see north of 20 minutes per game.
