re: mickey was wise to leave

Honestly, Jordan Mickey made the right decision. I think he will make the team. The Celtics have a bunch of project forwards but I don't think people give Mickey enough credit for his skill set.

He made 50% of his two point jump shots this past season. He will continue to improve that and should become a very good mid range shooter. He can use 100% of his time to develop himself rather than have to worry about school and other responsibilities of being a college athlete.

Defensively, his game should translate well to the NBA where it has become a guard driven game. He will have a ton of opportunities to rotate and block shots and his ability to hedge over a pick and roll as well as being able to stay on a PG on a switch will make him a very solid presence.

I don't think he's a starter right now, but the second 5 is very important in the NBA.

I'm happy for him.

You shouldn't be complaining about HIS decision because it affects the team YOU follow. He helped LSU for 2 years and will continue to helps LSU as youngsters see him in the NBA and want to be like him. This is LSU's first draft since 2000 having two players selected. That's impressive.

We are moving in the right direction and you should be appreciating what Mickey did rather than bash him for making a personal decision to help himself. We all go to college to improve our work situation, not to help the University.
