LSU has a street ball type offense. not much screening, back door passes, etc.. for once I agree with ESPN

Wow!!! So they run a lot of backdoor passes, screening, etc. in the NBA?? LSU has run several offensive sets during games this season. Their athletes are encouraged to get out and run and use athleticism!! Do u remember Florida, West Virginia and the Tennessee blowout!!! When you get good athletes with High IQ the team can be special!! Ben Simmons and Blakeney brings this!!

I agree that Victor should be mentioned but how can you put any importance on Robinson who never got in a game after mid-season until it is actually proven on the court?




it's why I said "could", not "will". He's a high ceiling talent that was sought after by good programs. healthy and an off-season of work probably makes him a dark horse at least

I'm excited about Robinson. I think his improvement from last year to next year will say a lot about what Jones can do as far as player development. Even with Blakenly, Simmons, and possibly Newman coming in, our depth in the front court is going to be a huge limitation unless Robinson comes around. As of now we have 1 viable big man.

The majority of you idiots are just as clueless as he ESPN. Mickey was a 3 star that played like a five star. Martin did not know how to play basketball when he got to LSU and quarterman was half retarded last year but played at an all SEC level most of the season

Jones does just fine developing talent

You might want to go back and look, Mickey was a top 40 player coming out of HS who put up good numbers at LSU right out of the gate

Great. ESPN was right. Didn't stop them from keeping Simmons' dick in their mouths all season though. It was pathetic.

There's a difference between "living up to the hype" and "being a tournament team".
