Alijah Martin was named to the 2026 All-G League third team on April 7 after a strong season with Raptors 905 that included 18.5 points a game and a place among the league’s top two-way players.
Martin, who played 39 games for Raptors 905, averaged 4.6 rebounds, 3.6 assists and 1.4 steals while shooting 39.2% from 3-point range. He had two 30-point games and scored a career-high 32 points on Dec. 6 in a win over the Capital City Go-Go.
The honor adds to a decorated first professional season. Martin was also named to the All-G League defensive team and the All-G League rookie team, and he competed in the Rising Stars Game at NBA All-Star Weekend, becoming the first 905 player selected for the annual showcase.

His path to that point has been unusually deep for a player on a two-way contract. After a five-year college career, Martin signed with the Raptors and arrived with a résumé that already included leading Florida Atlantic to the Final Four in 2023 and helping Florida win its third national title last year. He also became the first player to start for two teams in the national semifinal round.
The contrast in his Raptors production is stark. Martin is averaging 2.3 points and one rebound on 34.1% shooting from the field in 21 games with Toronto, though he did put together one of his best all-around performances on Jan. 11, when he had a season-high nine points, eight rebounds, four steals and two blocks in a win over the Philadelphia 76ers.

That split tells the story of where Martin stands now: a rookie who has already proven he can be a difference-maker in the G League, even as he works to carry that form into the NBA rotation.
