re: Who can we least afford to lose next year, Mickey or Martin

Mickey. Easily.

He's not the best on ball defender, but his shot blocking makes up for a LOT of poor defensive play. Even just his presence inside alters how teams attack LSU. There are plenty of times where his blocks are the first "pass" in LSU's transition game.

There are times where Martin disappears in games yet other guys are able to pick up the slack offensively. There's no one on LSU's team that can make up for Mickey's ability to protect the rim. Once Mickey leaves LSU fans will realize that "you don't know what you've got until it's gone"
