Cody Lee Martin (born September 28, 1995) is an American professional basketball player for the Charlotte Hornets of the National Basketball Association (NBA). He played college basketball for the NC State Wolfpack and the Nevada Wolf Pack. He is the twin brother of Caleb Martin.[1] He was drafted by the Charlotte Hornets in the second round of the 2019 NBA draft.

High school career

Martin played basketball for prep powerhouse Oak Hill Academy with his twin brother Caleb Martin. Prior to playing at Oak Hill, Cody and his brother played three seasons at Davie County High School in Mocksville, North Carolina. He also played football his freshman year of high school. The two chose North Carolina State University over Rutgers and Providence.[2]

As a sophomore at NC State, he averaged 6.0 points, 4.4 rebounds, and 2.3 assists per game. Following that season, the Martin twins chose to transfer to Nevada to play for coach Eric Musselman.[3] After sitting out a season as a redshirt, Cody Martin was named Mountain West Conference defensive player of the year.[4] He averaged 14 points, 6.3 rebounds and 4.7 assists per game and led the Wolf Pack to an NCAA Tournament appearance. After the season he and his brother declared for the 2018 NBA draft without hiring an agent, thus preserving their ability to return to college.[5] They were also participants for the NBA Draft Combine that year, but both ultimately decided to stay for their senior seasons in Nevada.

Coming into his senior season, Martin was named to the Preseason MWC Team.[6]
