To me, the biggest question about Martin defensively would be whether he can function in the Dallas zone. In theory, his length and quickness (read, recovery ability) would be helpful, even if his slight frame hurts him in man coverage. Certainly, if Dallas acquired him and got rid of Haywood (their best man-to-man defender in the post), you'd think the Mavs would only become more dependent on their zone.
