He is an athletic wing that can create his own shot and can help create for others. Martinez is a strong perimeter shooter and has fairly long arms for his size.

He has good length at 6’6 and can run the floor well and can make some sharp passes. His shooting is good and has the ability to attack the basket using his ball-handling skills. Lohner is also a strong rebounder. He received offers from Baylor, BYU, Kansas State, TCU, Texas, and Texas A&M.

Pelle Larsson

Larsson is a 6’5, 200-pound combo guard from Sweden. He is a three-star prospect, who is the No. 20 rated combo guard. In Sweden, he averaged over 7 rebounds per game, which is impressive at 6’5.

He is an athletic wing that can get to the rim. The local prospect could carve out a role with the Utes. He verbally committed last year.
