so you're saying he can not improve any aspect of his game including his post defense and back to the basket game?


You're missing the point. The NBA doesn't care if he comes back for a 3rd year and looks ever so slightly better in post defense outside of blocking shots. He will still be a 6'7 PF that has a limited offensive game in the NBA and can leap high. It's not going to do anything to help his draft stock. He is the same TYPE (notice the word used here) of player this year as he was last year. He's not going to develop a 3 point game coming back a 3rd year, he's not going to look a lot more comfortable taking his mid range jumper all of a sudden. This is what the NBA cares about way more than anything for a guy like Mickey who is an undersized PF.

you're just wrong on Mickey man. In no world is he getting drafted in the first round this year.



I'm not saying he definitely will or wont, but the fact is several sites not only have them on their mock draft but IN the first round, it's certainly possible.

I agree with most of what you're saying, but don't act like he couldn't improve his already good mid range jump shot.

What improvements he can make wouldn't have a huge effect on his stock, which is the point I think you're making.

I disagree. But in either case, what it comes down to is whether he wants to risk another year of college and not earning 2nd round/free agent money for coming back and improving his game enough to get into the first.
