If we had to have only one next year, I think I'd rather Martin to be honest. Maybe it's just because Mickey is in a slump.
Id think we would rather Mickey. Keep in down low as a post presence. Replacing Martin with Simmons shouldnt be that difficult of a transition. Simmons is closer to martin than mickey but has a wider skill set. Without Mickey we arent guaranteed a true proven Center or Power forward.
I think Simmons can replace the inside/out game Martin has developed moreso than we can hope for anyone we have coming close to replacing Mickey.

I agree that Simmons is more similar to Martin, but I don't think that changes my opinion of who LSU would rather have.
I love Mickey and his ability to block shots, but I'd almost rather have the height and the guy who you know can score on an island. I think Mickey's block total does give some people a over-inflated sense of Mickey's defensive prowess. It allows a ton of back side offensive rebounds, and he really struggles to guard post players one on one.
