K-Mart average 20 ppg? Right. The only reason why he even has 15 ppg is because he plays in the East, where there's 1 good PF (J'Oneal). Here's what Martin looks like vs. actual PF this year:
vs. J'Oneal - Game 1 - 5-11, 11 pts, outscored by 5
vs. Elton Brand - Game 1 - 8-16, 16 pts, outscored by 4
Game 2 - 4-12, 10 pts, outscored by 11
vs. Tim Duncan - Game 1 - 3-10, 8 pts, outscored by 13
vs. Dirk Nowitzki - Game 1 - 4-9, 11 pts, outscored by 7
vs. Amare Stoudamire - Game 1 - 5-19, 13 pts, even scoring
Game 2 - 5-10, 11 pts, outscored by 8
vs. Rasheed Wallace - Game 1 - 3-7, 11 pts, ahead by 1
Game 2 - 4-14, 10 pts, ahead by 3
vs. Kevin Garnett - Game 1 - 5-9, 13 pts, outscored by 10
Game 2 - 6-16, 12 pts, outscored by 7
vs. Chris Webber - Game 1 - 4-12, 8 pts, outscored by 11
Game 2 - 5-8, 17 pts, outscored by 19
vs. Karl Malone - Game 1 - 2-10, 4 pts, outscored by 20
vs. Troy Murphy - Game 1 - 4-21, 10 pts, outscored by 1
Martin has shot over .500 vs. actual PF twice in 15 matchups. He has outscored an actual PF twice in 15 matchups. This is NOT a guy who can cut it as a 1st option. In the West, he'd be the 11th best PF (maybe). He hasn't shown any sign of being able to score against real PF or even shoot a high percentage, despite being spoonfed by Jason Kidd.
