re: With both M&M's likely leaving, how do we look next year?

I disagree.

Martin really didn't turn it on until the last 1/2 of the season and was a no show still, in some of those games. I'll predict that Simmons will be better, or as least as good.

Mickey's shot blocking was incredible, but it sounds like Victor might be more what we need next season.

It certainly is too early to declare which pairing will be better, but Simmons and Victor can certainly be better. Simmons is a much more skilled basketball player than Martin. His greatness will depend on how he handles the pressure of being "the guy" as a freshman. Mickey was great at blocking shots, but consistently was pushed around by low post players. If Victor can be a more efficient rebounder and play complete defense, he will be a huge contributor.
