I admire Martin going through a few coaches at Memphis, and, still be loyal to Memphis, and, be such a great player his senior year. I hope he makes it on some team, though, I wish he was part of the starting lineup of Grizzlies. :)
A d.c. source tells me the wizards r very interested in the Dude

Tacko Fall from UCF, Terence Davis from Ole Miss and originally Southaven HS, and DaQuan Jeffries from Tulsa are among the 10. So frustrating that Jeremiah is not there for this.
Jeremiah has worked out for 2 teams so far that we know of - Grizz and the Spurs.
Jeremiah has been working out with the grizzlies players for a week or so. Agent put him up at the Westin. Said Penny is working with him at the Forum also. Knows he can make a great salary overseas but is determined to make the League.
Always take the cash and let the credit go. Jeremiah is now a professional. He should let his agent know two things: first show me the money, second show me the money.
Jeremiah getting some positive draft comments:

16) Jeremiah Martin might have the most impressive box score stats of any secondary creator prospect. Nearly a free throw attempt for every 2-point attempt. (Lillard-ish stat.) 8.6 free throw attempts per 40. (Stat reminiscent of Lillard, McCollum and Wade.) 5 rebounds, f5 assists and 2.5 steals per 40. Above 50 percent on 2-point shots. Over half a block per 40 and 77 percent free throw percentage the last two years.
On paper, he compares fairly well with both Sam Cassell, Jeremy Lin and Rodney Stuckey. I’d bet he ends up being more like the latter two than the former if he sticks. Still, he seems a player much more worthy of a draft pick than many who will be selected above him.
I have to admit that I was not a Martin fan for much of his career here but looking back I can't really explain why that was. Even at some points last season I wasn't convinced but man did he ever finish strong and make a believer out of me. I'm sorry for ever doubting you JM, I'm a fan now.
Every team he has worked out for he left a strong impression on them. They shared some things with him that left him very excited.

Funny, I thought that after his freshman year that he would not be a player for the Tigers. Too unsure and too many mistakes. But that's what freshman do I guess and he changed my view during his sophomore year. He had a outstanding Tiger career.
CBS doesn't list Martin as a top 130 prospect. Seems ridiculous to me.

76ers have 4 2nd round draft picks this year.
Good thoughts and strong energy ! Thanks for the update.
Best wishes young man! Always a Tiger!!
