Yeah, I would assume you're right. It's just that I don't really remember battle making many threes that I would say were even close to NBA range (I remember one late against either ASU or TCU, i think, but not many). Meanwhile, if you look at just qualified shooting guards (guys listed as shooting guards and on pace to make at least 82 threes this season) in the NBA, there are 30 that shoot at least 37% from three. There are only five who shoot less than 34% (interesting Demar Derozan and Donovan Mitchell are two and they're excellent players, obviously).

My point is only that Battle would not only have to improve his percentage but he'd have to improve his range pretty significantly to fit into that group. They could be looking at him as a different type of player, obviously, so there's that.

But I'm just surprised to see him with that grade. I actually hope he gets that grade, gets drafted and does well -- so don't get me wrong. Just didn't think I'd see that kind of ranking.
