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

The question whether Mickey and Martin would be better off in school for another year or better off on NBA teams this year will be a question we ask ourselves all year. The thing about it is there's no way to decide if the move they both made was right or wrong.

Personally, if they both are able to make an NBA roster and get some time, they made the right decision. From there, they will need to continue to be hungry and improve every day. With the way Rookie contracts are drawn up, the big money comes from second contracts anyway, so they will need to improve themselves.

I don't think another year of college basketball would prepare them for their second contracts as much as being with an NBA team, but you have to make that NBA team so you can really learn what it's like to be in the NBA.
