He'd be foolish to leave. No way he gets a guaranteed contract. The scouting report on him is:

On offense, pump fake and he'll climb over your back.
On defense, put two guys on him and he turns it over.

Great physical talent, but not a great basketball player. Reminds me of Tyrus Thomas a little bit.

I guess someone will pay Mickey. Won't be in the NBA, but someone will pay him. Maybe the basketball equivalent of the AFL...

Hopefully he stays, and hopefully he practices free throws in the offseason.

most people will be disappointed when they leave just like after the first round of March Madness.

Would love to have him just for the Defensive presence he brings to the table.

yea i know some guys who are still over there, depends on the country but have a couple friends in france and spain who have done well. the further east you go, the sketchier it gets in terms of if they actually pay you. far east seems to be taking off as well

If someone like Lance Thomas can make a living playing in the NBA, there's no reason why Jordan Mickey couldn't.

Mickey would be so much better and more consistent next season when he wouldn't have to play the entire game every game next season. Hopefully people pound that thought into his head.

It would help him at least make European league. He needs to become a better shooter.

Jordan really needs to stay another year and work on his post game and mid-range jumper. He's always going to be an undersized PF by NBA standards, but he can really up his chances to make playing for a Euroleague contender his floor rather than his ceiling.

Sounds exactly the opposite to me.

I'd say, more than ever, he's a gone pecan.

Doubted? Most people I know think they should have won 5 or 6 more games! That is the opposite of being doubted.

After the Clemson loss, there were plenty of doubters.
