I could care less what Flynn or Ennis or Melo or Mali said.  Its irrelevant. Slightly less relevant than this statement from OB.   I'm going out on a limb (I don't think I'm alone but maybe) and say that OB will be back along with Battle.   I have been WRONG about Ennis, Mali, Grant and Lydon as a disclaimer but...in the last couple mocks I have seen Battle is #58 in one and not in the other.   NBAdraft.net which so many hate does not even list Battle among its top 100 big board.  This list includes all players including incoming freshman so it is very different than their mock draft.   OB is 44 but not listed in their first 2 rounds as they don't expect him to come out.   I know many of you think every SU player with more than half a pulse will leave and go to the NBA or the G- league because they can make money which is of course better than going to college.   OB has the athleticism and skills to make the NBA.  He really needs to do a little fine tuning and he'll be ready.  The more I watch Battle the less convinced I am that he will play in the NBA.  He uses way too much leg in his jump shot which effects his consistency.  He has not shown that he is a good passer (next year he will have more/better players to actually pass to).   He's OK but not "good" driving.  Way too often his drives end up a falling backwards toss at the backboard from 3 feet away.  He's a decent rebounder but not sure the NBA drafts guards based on their rebounding prowess.   That said I think if they both come out Battle may go toward the end of the 2nd round or not at all and OB would go undrafted.  To repeat my prediction...they both wear orange again next year, start along with Frank, Sidibe and Baz.   :cool:
