Message: [QUOTE="Zelda Zonk, post: 2766821, member: 966"] I don't know that it's about playing out of of position. I don't remember him struggling when Frank was out of games last year. He's just missing shots, and those shots would have come whether or not an 'actual PG' was feeding him the ball. We haven't been challenged so much that he's had to labor to just get the ball up court. He's getting the same looks, just not hitting. The other thing is that he now looks like he's working very hard for everything and maybe that's because we now have a contrast in Hughes. Battle is jerky-jerky, explosive, and assertive, and Hughes is calm, smooth, and seems to let things come to him. It's reasonable to suggest that Battle feels added pressure to outperform his stats from last year, given than he might think he needs to make an even bigger impression to get a better draft position than he would have had. And to get drafted ahead of Oshae... and Hughes. But, i'm not worried about him. [/QUOTE]
