#GeauxTigers JARRELL MARTIN to enter 2015 NBA Draft
At 6-8 and just north of 225 el bees LSU Sophmore PF/SF Jarrell Martin will forgo his last two years of eligibility and enter the 2015 NBA Draft. Martin has game and he reminds me a lot of former La Tech and Jazz 2nd round pick and current Hawks All-Star Paul Milsap as Martin plays bigger than his frame and build exists.
The Tigers Sophomore Star led LSU to a 3rd place finish in the SEC at 11-7 in conference play and 22-11 overall trailing only Kentucky and Arkansas. J-Mart averaged 16.9 ppg 9.2 rpg and has some serious hidden athleticism. He is what they call now in the Logo a Stretch 4 instead of saying J-Mart is a tweener.
This news might come at a surprise to many as LSU has the #1 Schoolboy player in the Class of 2015 in 6-8 PF/SF Ben Simmons (Montverde Academy Florida) along with Top 15 recruit and combo guard Antonio Blakeney (Orlando, Fla Oak Ridge HS). The Tiger might also lose Martin's partner in crime Sophomore Jordan Mickey of Dallas. Mickey averaged 15.4 ppg 9.9 rpg and his game is similar to Martin's except Mickey is more of a PF as his game illustrates.
Stay tuned as Martin is gone but if they can get Mickey to stay lookout they should still be in the Top 15 pre-season as those LSU guards they currently have like Keith Hornsby and Tim Quarterman will be back as they were the 3rd and 4th leading scorers for Baton Rouge U Hoops in the 2014-125 season.
Martin is projected on my 2015 NBA Draft Board as a mid to late 1st rounder and would be a steal in the 2nd round if he fell...
