Combo forward Jordan Mickey is a true matchup problem for defenders, and LSU coach Johhny Jones will have the luxury of utilizing his new big in multiple positions on the offensive end of the floor.
In transition Mickey runs the outside lane with long strides, making himself available for easy baskets that include an array of highlight worthy finishes. With his commitment, the LSU break has instantly improved.
In the half court set, Mickey can post and elevate over smaller defenders or drive past less-mobile defenders from the perimeter. He can finish at the rim or pull up for a midrange jumper that is smooth and effortless. In special situations, Jones can involve Mickey in end-of-the-clock situations, where he can be a long and athletic receiver and finish drop off passes at a high percentage.
