Message: [QUOTE="iommi, post: 2024576, member: 249"] I'm one of the few people around here not surprised by Battle's outside shooting. I expect maybe a little correction but he will have solid shooting numbers at year's end. What was surprising was Battle wasn't using his slashing game. He is now. Battle is very strong. Much stronger than he looks. He can finish through contact better than he has. He's starting to show his mid-range game. It will be fantastic. He rarely misses pull-ups inside 15 feet. He's a decent passer, nothing incredible but fine. I'm not sure what people were expecting from him but games like Saturday are just what we need. Battle was one of the best on-ball high school defenders I've ever seen in person. His issue in our zone was all positioning. Usually he'd get sucked up too far inside. He's made that correction.
