Martyre Demarco - 2012

Martyre Demarco is a tough, good shooting 6'4 combo guard. He has a long frame, an excellent work ethic, and great control of his upper body. Martyre can create his own shot, and play through contact. He is an excellent passer, a good communicator, and is also a good defender. What separates Demarco from others like him is his ability as a scorer. Martyre is an excellent shooter coming off of screens and when he catches and shoots. However, his real strength is creating for himself off of the dribble. Martyre has an excellent step back jump shot. He has excellent control on his upper body, so he is able to create space and angles to shoot over taller defenders. He can get this shot off from nearly anywhere on the floor, and Martyre is not afraid to create when the offense breaks down. Martyre also finishes well through contact and runs the floor well in transition.

Martyre's biggest area for improvement is in his quickness. Defensively, he uses his length well to keep quicker guards in front of him, but he needs to become a more light footed defender so he can put more pressure on multidimensional guards that he will see in college. Martyre is easy to coach and takes instruction well. He has been working hard this year, and I don't see any reason why he wouldn't improve in this area.

Martyre played his first three years at Shadow Mountain HS in Phoenix, AZ before moving to California and playing his senior season at Redondo Union HS outside of L.A. He averaged over 20ppg for his last two seasons at Shadow Mountain, and scored 19ppg last season for Redondo Union. Martyre is going to be an excellent addition to a program that is looking for a scoring guard.

I expect Martyre to end up going to a low to mid major Division 1 school, or a high D2 school if he feels it is a better fit. Currently, he is recieving interest from UC-Davis, Louisiana Tech, and Hawaii Pacific.
