Leads the league in steals and is the straw thatt stirs The LSU offense. Do you think he makes it to the NBA on talent alone? And he also used to be a star football QB. Johnny Jones is a great coach for this bunch as well.

Looking forward to see Hickey continue to develop and take more looks at the basket. I like the offense better running through his hands, but he needs to get more looks at the basket including 3s in flow as well.

I love me some Hick. I think he probably shot a bit too much in the first half. I think we're better when he's more of a facilitator and floor general and I think we saw that in the second half.

Hickey is a great ball handler and great defensive player. But personally i feel he hurts us sometimes when hes cold and continues to throw it up. If he can learn to take his energy and use it to get the ball to the open shooter more when his shot is off, he can make them a much better team !

I agree. Britgirl has told me he's been told to shoot more by the coaches. I'm not sure that I agree with that. I'd like to see him penetrate and dish a little bit more as he's shown he is very capable of that in the past.

I wonder if the coaches will (or have) told Hickey to distribute more when he sees Stringer, Carmouche and Coleman having hot hands. I would have thought he'd do that on his own, though.
