I've been watching a few of his videos recently, and I'm just really impressed with his court vision on defense. Hes also very speedy, and runs the floor so well.

12.2 PPG, 8 RPG, and 2.4 BPG in SL, is pretty decent numbers considering his impact on defense.

Hes tearing it up of course in D-League, and even Stevens has commented approvingly of that. What do you see his ceiling being, and what areas do you think he has to work on to become more, than just a role player?

One of the finest things I've noticed is Mickey runs back and down the court, to contest, and somehow surprise the offensive player who thinks he has an easy shot.

I can see that. What type of numbers do you expect Mickey to put up, and can he ever been a go to guy, or 2nd/3rd option on a good team?

Lol. I can't anymore. The few have ruined it for me so bad with Mickey that I may actually want to see him fail on the basketball court (but find a nice job in middle management somewhere)

If Mickey could turn into Ibaka, then all we would need is a Durant, and just find out our Westbrook, and we'll take over the East.  :police:

I know what you mean. But a ceiling is a ceiling.

More mobile Amir Johnson with a better jumpshot.

Good one too.

There's just not many types like him around. Defensive big men that can hit the 3. So not many players around you can compare him to that come to mind.

I'm curious as to what Triboy thinks. Definitely a hybrid between multiple HOF's, but the question is which ones.

A hybrid of Kareem and Bill Russell.  ;)

Maybe, but don't forget that Triboy also says Mickey is automatic from 3pt range, has the first step of a point guard, and he can stop Paul George defensively.
