Message: [QUOTE="RF2044, post: 2899769, member: 40"] Tyus Battle wouldn't have been a lottery pick as a freshman. Leaving early in and of itself doesn't make a prospect a lottery pick. He came back this past offseason because he got a tepid response from the NBA evaluation committee, who told him that he needed to refine his skill set. He has to some degree -- with the improved passing, improved facilitating of team sets, and with improved mid range shooting. Still has the hitch in his shot, though, and his three point % hasn't been impressive. Where he ends up being drafted if he indeed leaves this offseason will be based upon how the rest of this season unfolds [i.e,. does his stock get a "boost" if we make a deep post-season run?], and whether teams will be skeptical of his 3-and-D potential because of his lackluster 3P%.
