Whats the chances we see JOB, Mickey, and Martin still at LSU next year. If all 3 came back wed have to be top 3 preseason in the SEC. Anywho, i'd say...

JOB - 95% gone
Mickey - 80% gone
Martin - 75% stays

Do people really think Mickey is more than likely leaving? I'd be surprised if he gets picked in the first round.

Jarrell Martin still has the most upside of the three with his outside game, he can be a dominant inside player as well if he wants to.

Mickey's ability to block shots is what got him noticed, still needs to work on his offensive game.

JOB's stock did not improve this year.

I tend to agree here. I don't think there's any way we keep Martin past next year, though. Too much upside, but still a little more to prove before someone will snatch him up IMO.

remember- this isn't the nfl draft. very few players even get drafted in this to begin with.

I could see Martin and Mickey leaving after next year, but not this year. Draft class very strong and they have some improving to do before they are Rd1.

JOB isn't gonna really improve his draft status so another year doesn't mean much. I think he could be a great NBA player but I doubt he gets the chance. If he does, he has very advanced post moves for a college player and has picked up his mid range game.

Has a good build for a PF and could be special, but he has to get the perfect opportunity.

None of them will be drafted. Well maybe JOB really late 2nd round.

Unless they get really bad advice from someone, Martin and Mickey come back next year

I think JOB leaves regardless of draft position. I wish him luck in the Turkish or South Korean or Italian professional league.

And that's the problem for JOB.
It's a good class of draftees this year - lots of competition. Next year might be a better bet for him, but I doubt he'll stay (10%)
I agree with those who think he'll be lucky to get drafted or will go right at the bottom of 2nd rd.
then D League, or Europe/Asia.

Last year was a lower standard of draft. Heck, Justin Hamilton got drafted by the Heat! He played in Latvia and is now in Heat D League playing in South Dakota.
Tas Mitchell's playing in Israel.

JOB might find a similar fate, given this year's competition.

Mickey - 95% stays, his defense is pretty much limited to blocks, and he hasn't made as many of those in recent games. Offense needs a lot of work.

Martin - 100% stays. He's too "young". He'll be gone next year though for sure.

They all should stay. JOB will more than likely leave. Martin and Mickey will stay. Anyone that tells them they are ready for pro ball is lying.

". I think he could be a great NBA player "


How the frick can anybody say this. Do you even realize the ball is round and orange ......he will be hard pressed to stay on a squad for an entire season. He will be in D League at best when he goes up. It would be better for him to go to Europe and make a few dollars.

Mickey would surprise the hell out of me . He's way undersized for an NBA 4 and has shown 0 outside game. He's a super talent, but I think he needs to show he can shoot, handle the ball, and guard threes before he's a high prospect. (65% staying)

I think if we turned it up these last few games, JOB may consider staying. If he thinks we can compete for an SEC championship and make a tourney run, that may make him want to stay for another year. I think he's gone though. (85% leaving)

I've seen weirder things, but Maryin should be back. (90% staying)

JOB has no chance in the NBA. There is nothing that he does on the court that is impressive.

Bad D, no jump shot, flat footed D, average rebounder, very poor FT shooter, most poorly conditioned player I have ever seen on an LSU court...

Pretty good that he is averaging 15/8 on nearly 50% shooting, then. Top 10 in the SEC in scoring, top 5 in rebounding.
