Mickey needs to stay...may not get drafted at all. Not on a lot of boards.

Martin stock up. Early 2nd on most boards.
Stay another year and improve...realistic shot at being a lottery pick next year. Guaranteed contract!

If they are projected top ten second round or better, they should go. That means Martin definitely should if his evaluation holds and Mickey probably should but not as certain as Martin.

mickey needs to stay. if he goes, he'll get drafted and a decent amount of money initially but i think he's destined for the D league of playing overseas.

If you aren't going in the 1st round then you shouldn't come out early. Unless you just hate going to school.

Matin go, because he has NBA talent and is developing at a rapid rate.
Mickey stay, doesn't really have a NBA game and can come back and avenge last night's blunder

2nd round is not guaranteed contract

They both need to stay to play with the recruits next year and bring a title or at least another final four appearance to our beloved tigers! Mickey doesn't have the body to last a 81 game schedule, he needs to put on muscle mass and get his confidence back, because after last night with the missed lay up and free throws I'm sure his confidence is shot. Martin needs to come back an work on some post moves, Martin is not that far away from being a good NBA player. He comes back next year develops his post game and some more face up moves he'll be at least a top 15 pick!

They both need to go. Mickey should have left last year. His stock will only go lower.

Mickey's late season fade indicates he should come back regardless. Martin on the other hand increased his draft stock all season. The big difference is that with Simmons and Blakeney coming in plus returning cast both M's have the opportunity to drastically improve their draft stock just by playing on a better team and getting into better games (i.e. post season tourney exposures).

Martin will go. If I were Mickey and most of this fan base threw me under the bus the way most did, I would get the hell out.

I'd imagine Mickey realizes that the fat, drunk keyboard coaches on here aren't a good representation of the fan base. Real fans support the hell out of him.

Martin - would be a late 1st round pick this (20-30 overall) and is viewed as a high potential player. He could come back and be a potential lottery pick the next season, but can't fault the kid if he decides to turn pro this year.

Mickey - Would be lucky to get drafted late 2nd round. Most likely undrafted. Since the UK game, he's averaged 11.4ppg but on 43% shooting. He also led the team in TOs this year. His height will always be an issue with him, but it might not even be his biggest issue. He can't play on the perimeter due to the fact that has has very little outside game, if any, and is bad at dribbling and passing. With the way he's played this last month or so, I'm starting to have doubts if he will make it to the NBA. Probably an overseas player. He should come back.

Yes, and in all honesty he should stay but you can't fault him for going if thats what he chooses

I think both should come back like O!Bryant did for his junior year. Martin would probably e a second rounder now. I do not see where Mickey could play in the NBA. He is too small for center and power forward, and. I don't think he has enough ball skills and shooting ability to play small forward. They both need to hit the weights.
