Battle is leaving. Get real. Think about what the NBA looks for in prospects...he's got it all.
He’s not a playmaker for others whatsoever to this point on the whole, and is a decent 3 point shooter...not great. And while I think he could be a solid defender at that level, I’m not sure.
I think the outside shooting is the key for Battle. He shot it well last year, when we had 3 other guys that could score and he got good looks and could be more selective. He’s not shooting it nearly as well this year while having a lot less help and not getting as many easy looks. So just how good of a shooter is he and will he be? I think that will be what decides his NBA prospects. Unless you’re Tony Allen or Andre Roberson defensively you’ve gotta be a good shooter or a decent shooter/capable playmaker. Decent shooter/not a playmaker probably doesn’t quite cut it.
