is there anything he can improve?
Most definitely if he wants to be one of the the SF/Wing guys that the NBA has fallen in love with.

I agree that Simmons will be able to replace Martins contributions. Mickey returning is much more critical to this teams success next year. Hopefully Robinson can make a large leap and can provide some nice depth. Quarterman Blakeney Hornsby Simmons and Mickey would be an extremely dangerous lineup.

The question for Martin is if he stays is there anything he can improve?
his post game
his jump shot
his ability to get to the rim off the dribble
his ability to finish at the rim when the dunk isnt there
his isolation defense (90% of whats played in the NBA)
unlike many, his game can grow. he is green. he is not limited like JOB or Mickey. He has perfect NBA measurables. He just needs time to get better at BASKETBALL

Martin can certainly become a lottery pick. He needs to work on his aggressiveness and Defense. No reason that with his size and athleticism he can't be lockdown defender/rebounder. If he adds that, teams will line up.
Mickey needs to add weight and show that he actually likes playing basketball. if he can get close to 245-250 and start playing each game like he cares, he could easily find himself drafted and on a roster. The lack of effort is just mind numbing though.

Martin can most definitely develop into a lotto pick. His mix of size, athleticism, handles, and strength is rare, but he has virtually no refinement to his game and his outside shot is spotty at best. If he comes back next year, loses about 5-10 pounds, improves his jumper, and shows out on a stacked LSU team that will be getting a TON of national attention, he can absolutey become a top 14 pick.
Mickey would be insane to leave. He still has a ton of work to do on a wide variety of things.

Definitely. With Simmons & Blakeney pulling defenses out, Martin will probably have less traffic in the lane and can work on finishing strong at the basket. He needs to OWN the paint for 40 minutes. That would get him into the Top 15.
If he committed himself to the weight room for the next 9 months...that alone would get some attention. It shows dedication and that is what GM's look for. Martin basically needs to make himself THE target for a few NBA teams and that will make the kid some $$.

Are you serious? Martin doesnt do ANYTHING great, so pick any aspect of playing basketball and Martin can improve on it.
