LaRue Martin Autographs
LaRue Martin (born March 26th 1950) is an American former professional basketball player. Martin was drafted first overall out of Loyola University Chicago by the Portland Trail Blazers in the National Basketball Association's (NBA) controversy riddled 1972 NBA draft. He was drafted ahead of future Hall of Famers Bob McAdoo and Julius Erving. Martin has been discussed as one of the worst first overall draft picks in NBA history, but he moved on to forge a successful corporate career.
Shy and reserved as a youth, Martin was a 6-foot-11 center from Chicago, Illinois, who attended high school at De La Salle Institute. There he played for Coach Jerry Tokars and was a classmate of Bryant Gumbel. Martin stayed in Chicago for college, recruited to Loyola University Chicago by Coach George Ireland.
In 1969–1970, after a year on the freshman team (freshman were not allowed to play NCAA varsity basketball in this era), Martin debuted for the Loyola Ramblers, averaging a strong double-double of 16.6 points and 14.4 rebounds, as Loyola finished 13–11.
