Mickey is far from a lotto lock. I love his game but at 6'8 he can't play the 5 and will be tough playing the 4. He really needs another year or two to develop more of an outside game to be a high draft pick. Having said that, if he's slotted to get drafted in 1st, he may very well go. But to be a lotto pick he has to develop his outside game or grow 2-3 inches.

Yeah, that's why I said possibly a lotto pick.

He's the best freshman we've had here since Anthony Randolph, who IIRC, was the 14th overall pick. That's kind of what I'm basing my assessment on.

Randolph was also a 6'10'' player who could play on the perimeter. Scouts loved his versatility on offense. Bad comparison.

Sorry misread but I really think he is a guy that won't be projected high because in the NBA he would be guarding 4s and 5s. hopefully we have him atleast one more year.

Martin undoubtedly has the highest ceiling and that's why he will be projected higher even though Mickey has been more productive.
Randolph is the perfect example of the NBA drafting on potential over production.

if Martin and Mickey come back next year, LSU will have it's best starting 5 since 2006 but with more depth.

I'd be shocked to see JOB return just because his stock can't get much higher and he considered leaving last year.
