The duo began at North Carolina State, where Caleb appeared in 36 games as a freshman, averaging 4.8 points and 2.9 rebounds. Martin's role expanded his sophomore year, as he started 19 games and averaged 11.5 PPG. He was especially effective early in that season, averaging 16.8 points over the first eight games of the year. Caleb and his brother then elected to transfer and sit out the 2016-17 season before committing to their final landing spot in Nevada. Martin's production ramped up significantly playing in the Mountain West, as he was named Conference Player of the Year his junior season after averaging 18.9 points and 5.4 rebounds. Martin spent much of his senior year on Wooden Award watchlists, but he was also named First Team All-MWC and made the All-Defense Team. Furthermore, Martin led the conference in three-pointers made with 107 that year. He went undrafted, but he signed an Exhibit 10 contract with the Hornets the following summer.
