Message: [QUOTE="dlegend44, post: 3014024, member: 765"] Battle was one of my favorite players in recent memory. He always played hard, carried his teams the last two season, never got in trouble and took his academics seriously. By all accounts, he and his family are people that value education. Tyus came back to Syracuse to to finish his degree and continue to work on his game. Battle will play professionally whether it is in the G-League or Europe. He would have been a late 2nd round pick last year but in all likely hood would not have made an NBA roster. I for one do not think Battle made the wrong choice to return and earn a degree. He is a good kid that will be successful at life. Success and failure shouldn't be viewed strictly through the prism of the NBA draft. [/QUOTE]
