I agree. I think Mickey is 50/50 at this point. I hope he stays. But JOB is gone no matter what IMO.


He (JOB) is quoted all the time saying this is his last chance... He knows this is it. At this point he isn't 1st round but he could be a second round guy who brings some pretty solid post moves. A little undersized, but still.

He has led the SEC in post scoring (scoring out of a post-up position) the last two years. If he continues to show consistent effort he could move into the late 1st rd.

My take on it is, if Glen Davis is still pulling a check in the NBA, there is no reason JOB can't make a living there too. JOB compares much more favorably to Big Baby than he does any other recent pro players from LSU.

Chad Ford was asked about Mickey in his chat today and offered this response: "Not a lottery pick. Not yet. But teams are watching him closely. Has a lot of NBA potential."

Personally I think his potential is Taj Gibson, similar body type, athleticism and skill projection. Gibson went 26th overall in 2009, if they did a redraft I think he'd go around 10.

Regarding JOB, he's likely a 2nd rounder but I think he makes it in the league. He's been really productive in college despite getting constantly double teamed, something he won't have to deal with in the nba.
