“I’m excited to compete against all these guys, especially Joey,” Martin said. “He’s someone I can see myself being able to connect with. When I was on my visit, he was a down to earth kind of guy. On the court, it’s going to be fun to go against a guy who plays super hard. It’s going to be fun. I’m ready for it.”
Gophers coach Richard Pitino said King really proved himself as a starter toward the end of the season after replacing an injured Oto Osenieks. King had just 11 points combined in the NIT semifinals and championship game. But the Eagan native had four straight double-digit scoring games prior to that, including 18 points in a 63-55 win against St. Mary’s in the NIT second round.
“When Oto got hurt, Joey was like ‘this is my spot’,” Pitino said Wednesday. “Whoever comes in, Josh Martin or whatever, it’s going to be difficult (to compete).”
