I have absolutely no clue how Battle's play could ever be compared to that of Jonny Flynn. Outside of the fact that the both are good dunkers, there is not much alike about them.

Let's look at a few of the differences:

Flynn was probably a shade under 6'0" tall.  Battle is 6'6 1/2".

Flynn was a point guard.  Battle is a two-guard.

Flynn was a mediocre defender.  Battle is an outstanding defender.

Flynn was a flashy, exciting lead guard, who was a solid all-around offensive player.  He was a point guard with a score-first mentality.  Good dunker, especially for his size.  Battle will hopefully be an exciting two-guard and all-around player.   He will look to distribute and set up his teammates.  If anything, some of us might hope he's less unselfish.  Great slasher and dunker.

Flynn was a decent and sometimes very good shooter.  Battle will be a decent shooter as well and could be a lot better than advertised.  Their shooting %'s could be similar from deep.  That's one other other similarity  I will grant you.
