re: Report: Jordan Mickey will enter the NBA Draft

Skillset is the only thing that matters. If you cant shoot no NBA team is going to play you at the 3. You play your position in the NBA generally, it's not like college. The only thing he can play in the NBA is the 4, which is why his stock is so low, being that he's only 6'7-6'8.

Outside of the shot blocking, what skills does he have that make him a 4 (obviously we are grading on the NBA curve)? He isn't a prolific rebounder (was above average in college, but not a natural), his on ball defense is terrible. His help defense isn't much better. In the NBA, his chasing of shot block opportunities is going to result in a boatload of backside dunks. He doesn't really have a post game. His plus shot is actually that little 17 footer he shoots. His length and size scream 3. The real issue we agree on, though. His stock is low because he likely can't hold up at the 4 and isn't skilled enough to play the 3 at this point.
