Google is your friend, but don't expect it this year. Martin will be, but Mickey may want to invest in his degree, because he'll be working at Mickey d's if he leaves early

That retarded. The guy had 107 blocks and averaged almost a double double. He was the star of the team for most of the season except the last month and a half or so. Which he could just say he was hurt. He would be drafted

Unless he improves drastically I don't think he will be drafted or lasts in NBA at all. In addition to his poor fundamentals and low basketball IQs his physical abilities are now a big question.

Won't happen. Mickey will be a complete nobody in the NBA.

I hope Martin stays because he showed big improvement from last year. He could get drafted very high next year if he stays.

The majority of players who get drafted are nobodies in the NBA.

Before you bash a kid or speak, you do realize unlike the NFL, there are alternatives to the NBA, that pay extremely well.

So at the minimum Mr. Mickey has a $150,000 job waiting for him, whenever he wants. So yes it is understood, if it is goal and dream to play in the NBA that wont happen for atleast 3-4 years of development. Most kids in college if given an offer north of $100K for the next 3-4 years minimum would be unwise not to take it and return to school. Before you say, what are the chances he actually comes back and gets his degree, I dont know the guy personally, but others like Shaq that never needed to do it, came back and finished.

These student athletes do have families, and no man should ever question another man's decision to want to provide and help his family, and if the only avenue is playing basketball half way around the world so be it.

You would think that might make a kid want to stay in college where they can be a star and live it up.

Well alright captain high and mighty. I have a right to question why he would leave a free education on the board for having to play in China or turkey or Italy. Forever away from his family in a different world. So hey, great idea, he'll provide for his family but will be across the world from them. Great choice

He will be abused by physically dominant NBA forwards. He has length, period.

No offensive game, nothing extraordinary defensively.

The D-League pay is terrible. If he goes overseas and makes 150,000-100,000 great but that is not lasting him from the time he cant play baskeball anymore around age 35 to whenever his time comes. He will have to work again, so at some point he will need a degree. Just as soon get it now while its free, even if he gets hurt he will still be good enough for overseas.

He won't be drafted in anyone's opinion that has watched an NBA game before.

The people on this board that think he's getting drafted don't know the difference between a basketball and a soccerball.
