Not to continue to hijack the thread, but I saw nothing from Kaleb that was not fixable with natural development. In fact I saw pretty significant strides through the non-conference schedule culminating with a strong game against Nova. He cut way back on unforced turnovers and began to attack with aggression. Unfortunately that seemed to be the peak and there was very little improvement from that point forward. With a productive summer I expect a physically more mature player who hopefully develops some confidence to be at least a positive presence on the floor next year.
That being said, Battle is by all accounts a transcendent talent and matchup nightmare who would elevate his team to another level. This would not be unlike Pearl's freshman year where he came in and replaced a 2 year starter at point in Gene Waldron and jump started a golden age of Cuse hoops. Gene, btw, happened to adjust to a position change that enabled him to set a Dome record for points in a game by a Syracuse player that I believe still stands today.
