Caleb Martin is exactly what the Sixers need in a role player.
The Sixers continue to fill out their roster, as they are finalizing a deal with forward Caleb Martin, per a report from ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski.
Over the last three seasons with the Heat, Martin has played 195 games, starting 84 of them. Martin, entering his age-29 season, has shot 36.8 percent on threes on 3.2 attempts per game during that timeframe.
Martin has also been an ever-reliable presence for Miami during their postseason runs with his career playoff three-point percentage jumping to 40.1 percent (162 attempts).
In past two seasons, Martin has averaged 13.6 points, 50 percent shooting and 44 percent on three-pointers vs. the Celtics (including regular season and playoffs). That’s his most points per game vs an Eastern Conference opponent in that span, per @ESPNStatsInfo. https://t.co/qmavEOlXtm

You can never have enough shooting in the NBA and for a Sixers team starved for some playoff-ready wings, this is exactly the type of move Daryl Morey should be making at this point in the offseason following the Sixers' big swing for Paul George.
