LSU sophomore forward Jordan Mickey issued the following statement on Tuesday regarding the speculation that he was leaning towards entering the 2015 NBA Draft, per LSUSports.net:
quote:

“With speculation that I may leave LSU for the NBA, or that I have already decided, that is not true. I have not made a decision one way or the other at this time. But with the help of my family and Coach (Johnny) Jones I do plan to explore my options regarding my future plans. The deadline to make a final decision is still a month away – I am still enrolled in school -- and I will use that time to decide.”
Earlier on Tuesday, ESPN College Basketball analyst Jeff Goodman reported that Mickey was leaning towards entering the draft.

It so funny, that all these kids get mad when people say they're going pro, they whine and say "i haven't made a decision yet", then a month later announce they're going pro.

If he can improve his draft stock to be a first round pick after another year at LSU he will have a much higher paying contract/signing bonus than he will this year as a late round pick.

As a late round pick he's going to get less money have have much more competition to resign. He will still have competition to resign but he will already have first round pick money. Theres a big difference between $8 mil. vs. $800k.

I honestly think he can make more money in the NBA if he stays another year.

Mickey needs to strongly consider the benefits of coming back and playing on a good team. It'll give him a chance to become a better FT shooter in games, improve mid-range game, and be more recognized if he's plays well on a good team.
