Excellent report.
Opinions will vary on at least two of your points.

You write that Thompson is playing forward, but is not a forward, he is a center.  To me, he looks like a natural SU forward with his skills.  He could play Roberson's spot and probably will next season, depending on who we have at center.  He has a jump shot with range (watch him in practice), and he can drive and finish.  He can defend  the wing on the zone, as well as defending inside.

Second, on Battle -- not so obvious that he will be our best player in the ACC schedule or in March.  He was deferring to others and looked tentative against Holy Cross.  He did not score much against Colgate, and took 3 long jumpers from the key late in the game, trying to get his points.  He is terrific, of course, getting out in transition and very good in defending, but it looks like he is still adjusting to the college level and trying to figure out his role in the half court.  We have other candidates for best player -- Lydon, Gillon & White.
