Former Houston Rockets forward Kenyon Martin Jr. took to social media to clear the air on his departure from the franchise.
At the end of the 2019-20 NBA season, the Rockets found themselves in a bit of a quandary. They were one of the league's older teams and didn't own a first-round draft pick in that year's draft, not to mention the inevitable rebuild that lied ahead.The front office acquired a second-round draft pick in the 2020 NBA Draft and used it on Kenyon Martin Jr., who was viewed as a project, although he was very athletic. Martin dazzled out the gates, averaging 9.3 points 5.
The Rockets eventually traded the younger Martin to the LA Clippers, as the franchise found themselves in a logjam at the forward position, with Tari Eason, Jabari Smith Jr., Dillon Brooks, and Jae'Sean Tate all vying for minutes.
