Gotcha. One bad game erases every good performance.

They padded their stats against 6'5" tomato cans w garbage baskets and dunks.ive said all along norther can create and finish strong enough to go first round. I hope they take the advice they will be given . Both can and should improve their game w another year here.

I've believed this long before last night. They're both good players (certainly above average college players) but nowhere near NBA-ready. And to be honest, I don't know if they'll ever be NBA-ready.

The NBA is a tough league with immense competition for very few available roster slots.

I don't know about Mickey, but from the guy who I've met who has been a mentor to him ever since he was a young kid, Jarell is gone.

don't count on it. Mickey flirted really hard w/ entering draft last year and likely makes the jump this year. Martin has improved and while he could use another year, he's likely gone ESP if he gets a 1st round grade. He's got a good chance to get drafted based on potential.

If so, he'll be sorry.

Jarrell Martin and Jordan Mickey are not NBA ready. Against competent teams they tend to get themselves in foul trouble early see WV and last night. Neither guy is particularly good in busting up a 2-3 zone and Mickey at times looks disinterested and not paying attention to the action. He'll get eaten up.

Mickey has far too many bad games. He had numerous games like this last year. when they are clicking they are great, they get lost sometimes though and it happens against bad teams.

I agree. He has a lot to work on defensively ( I mean a lot). If he leaves early, he'll get eaten up at either position he plays (SF or PF). Imagine him right now trying to guard LeBron, Melo, Blake Griffin, or Anthony Davis. It makes you cringe think of it.

...and other teams played top 25 opponents all the way up to the start of conference play.

Give me a break.

Have you watched him play? Have you watched an NBA game this year?

Haven't seen any signs that staying here helps them get ready. Team looked very poorly coached last night. Why is moving (with or without the ball) against a zone so painfully difficult for this team.

JOB was light years ahead of Mickey-Martin offensively. He made giant strides in sophomore, junior year.

They should come back but that doesn't mean they will. Both should stay one more year at least because they are not going to be a coveted pick by any NBA team. They will have a much better chance if they mature a little more. I can see a lot of improvement in Martin over last year. One more year would help him immensely.

yes, I certainly have. Remember Anthony Randolph? He went mid 1st round.

I don't think he should go.....I'm just predicting that he does
