Jarell Martin drafted by the Memphis Grizzlies

Jarell Martin is headed to Memphis.

The sophomore LSU Tiger was drafted by the Grizzlies at number 25 in the 2015 NBA Draft.

Martin averaged 10.3 points and four boards a game in the 2014-15 basketball season. The sophomore star was named to the All-SEC team this season.

The Baton Rouge native gave up his final two years of college eligibility to enter the draft just five days after being eliminated in the first round of the NCAA Tournament to NC State.

Martin is the first LSU player to be drafted in the first round since Anthony Randolph went 14th overall back in 2008.
