Jakyri Martin Jakyri Martin 6'3" | CG John Curtis | 2026 State LA is an intriguing prospect whose skill, IQ, size and upside are obvious. Schooled in a system, he plays intelligent, structured basketball but clearly has more to show. Coaches who recruit him will find an athletic, skilled player ready to run college-level actions and contribute immediately. Martin does a bit of everything at a high level, is a willing teammate and brings a winning mentality that translates in any gym.

Martin may play with the most energy of any player that I have watched recently and it just shows that energy travels. He plays the game like a football player and works to bully and intimidate. Every possession, Martin is locked in and he wants to win. He can score, he can defend and his play style gives John Curtis an edge in every game because he is just a dawg. He does not let up, back down or retreat. On a team with young talent, you can see confidence in other players because he is the big brother on the floor. Not sure what he does best yet, because every time I watch him play he showcases another skill.

Martin scored at will in this game, but the mark of a great team is not in the individual scoring performances. Martin picked his spots to score, defended at a high level and carried the teams energy from start to finish. Martin constantly pressured the defense opening up opportunities for his team mates, while taking advantage of offensive mismatches. He scored 13 points in the win and managed the game with his efficiency. Martin is a top player in his class for this reason, and he will surely earn an opportunity to compete at the next level.
