re: Shaq saying Mickey and Martin should have stayed another year.

You could argue both ways. Martin was a first round pick, so it's tough to say he made the wrong decision. Plus, his numbers would have gone down next year with Simmons coming in. Martin is a good player with a chance to develop into a very good player. But Simmons is everything Martin is, just A LOT more skilled. Simmons basically would have taken Martin's role as a "stretch 4".

Mickey probably would have benefited from playing with Simmons, but the question is would his draft stock have increased much by staying one more year? I doubt it. He still would have had the same physical strengths/limitations next year. He maybe would have gone from an early 2nd round pick to a late first rounding, but that wouldn't have been a guarantee.

Hindsight being 20/20, it's hard to say either made the wrong decision to leave
