One of the newest Knicks can lean on his high school coach for some pointers on what to expect next.
Jaylen Martin, a 6-foot-6 wing who took the Overtime Elite route to go pro, went undrafted on Thursday night. But shortly afterward, he agreed to a two-way deal with, meaning he will split time between them and their G-League affiliate, the Westchester Knicks.
“My advice for him is to keep working and keep doing what got him here,” Ward told The Post in a phone interview on Friday. “It’s been a journey for him. He’s gotten a lot better. He’s a slasher. He has good size and he can defend and score the ball. … He still has to improve in a lot of areas like all young players have to in his position.”New Knick signee Jaylen Martin played under Charlie Ward for three years at Florida High.
Asked what Martin has to do to become an NBA player, Ward said it is important the Tallahassee, Fla., native continues on his current path, in terms of being a valuable commodity on both ends of the floor.Ward raved about the 19-year-old Martin’s two-way ability and his understanding of the game. Martin will have plenty of opportunities to showcase his game in the upcoming summer league next month in Las Vegas.
