Mickleberry is a high octane scoring guard who does a nice job of scoring from behind the arc, if he is in a groove from deep good luck stopping him. He can also use his shear size to bully his way to the bucket. He uses his strength on the defensive end to come up with turnovers and turn defense to offense. He touches the game in many different facets.
