What Has Been Said By Phenom Hoops:
“Giant has been a shining piece for the Bengals all season along and one of the key seniors for this team, he has proven that he should be getting more looks from programs. He brings good overall size at 6’3 in not only being able to help run the offense but also to play off the ball, being a threat in catch-and-shoot situations. Whether he is making plays off the bounce, creating for himself downhill or facilitating, or being a threat from outside, Giant continues to bring a balanced attack and a strong motor. That motor can easily be seen on the defensive side of the ball as well, constantly putting pressure on opponents.”
“Giant is a well-rounded guard who continues to fly under the radar but deserves college attention. He leads by example, plays with a high IQ, and impacts the game in multiple ways on both ends of the floor. Giant can create for himself or others, operate effectively off the ball, and consistently makes winning plays. A true hidden gem in North Carolina, he embodies the kind of versatility and reliability coaches value at the next level.”
“Greensboro Day is a team that has a lot of talent on the roster, as we recently wrote about and broke down what we saw on the court in an open gym. But if this team wants to make a run at another talent, Marty Giant is going to be one of the biggest pieces on the team this year. Giant is a difference-maker on the court, displaying leadership and development as a prospect. He does what is needed on the court for his team, and his impact on both sides of the ball can’t be denied. Giant is a strong driver and finisher; he can be a playmaker for others, as well as play off the ball and knock down shots. And his impact and energy on the defensive end is contagious, as he proves to bring production on the court.”
“Although each of these listed players has the tools to be valuable pieces at the next level, Giant is already extremely familiar with the concept of contributing to winning. The 6-foot-3 wing is a matchup nightmare for opponents. His combination of IQ, physicality, and well-rounded ability allows him to do legitimately everything on the court. Giant’s versatility allows him to initiate the offense, defend multiple positions, outwork opponents on the glass, and push the break in transition. He also provides excellent toughness and a strong nose for the ball. There should be obvious appeal in a player who possesses such an extremely malleable identity.”
