Both will leave, and neither will play in the NBA. It's really sad they want to leave so bad. There is no way we have 2 draft picks on this team right now. Obviously things can change, but Mickey did shite against WVU, and Martin was garbage except for rebounding

Mickey considered leaving last year so he is gone for sure. There is probably a 40% chance Martin comes back

I think 40% is way too high. They both want badly to go. That's just the way it is in college hoops today.

Neither are near high first round picks. If they were to come back and play with Simmons I garauntee you they could both improve their stock exponentially. I don't know that either of them are looking at it that way.

Martin is probably gone. He's an impressive athlete, but he hogs the ball on a Kobe level and rarely plays defense. Maybe that last game opened his eyes.

Mickey is a tossup. He is clearly not ready for the NBA. His one-on-one defense is below average. He is inconsistent on help. He's too short. His mean streak is a little too mean. And it's not clear to me that he is working on his deficiencies, so who knows what he is thinking. He certainly wouldn't be drafted today.

Both were in most draft projections last year, though most had them both in the second round.

I would imagine at this point it's about the same this year and up to them to improve those projections with what is left of this year. And judging from the way both of them are jacking 3's they both think that's the best way to do that.
