Eligible for the 2025 NBA Draft, Ian Martínez embarks on a path to professionalism while celebrating personal milestones.
Ian Martínez Carrillo, a 23-year-old basketball player from Costa Rica, is poised to make significant strides in his career as he becomes eligible for the 2025 NBA Draft.
Following a standout season with the Utah State Aggies in NCAA Division I, Martínez graduated last month and received a warm farewell from fans, who celebrated him as a local hero.

In a heartfelt announcement on social media, Martínez expressed his love and commitment, stating, 'After so many years creating beautiful memories and supporting each other through every challenge, the day has finally come to take the next step.'
Alongside his father, former basketball player Henry Martínez, and his representative Matt Slan from Slan Sports, Ian has decided to participate in the Pre Draft process, accepting training invitations from the Utah Jazz and Cleveland Cavaliers.
His impressive performance with the Aggies has garnered the attention of the Utah Jazz, who have been closely monitoring his development.
Should Martínez not secure a contract with an NBA team, there remains a possibility for him to pursue opportunities in European basketball leagues.
The NBA Draft will take place from June 25 to 26, 2025, at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York, where 30 teams will select from a pool of top prospects.
