Great write up, agree w so much you see.

One thing that slightly worries me about Battle (and i love his ability and think he plays plenty of mins no matter what): i have believed for over a decade now that JB relies very heavily on dribble drive principles for his Offense. And what i see is that, no matter what defense is thrown at us by these inferior teams, Howard and Gillon are able to attack and drive into the heart of these defenses and make plays. On the other hand, Battle is struggling to do this. He is mostly just surveying the defense off the dribble and then giving the ball up. If this continues this could eat into Battles mins slightly and we could see more of Howard/Gillon, just as JB was so comfortable using a two guard combo of Scoop/Triche/Dion as any combo of those 3 were very good at dribble drive. I still think TB has great potential this year, he may already be our best athlete and he has tremendous upside, his shot has been great and he excels in open court obviously. But until he learns to successfully attack a half court D off the dribble, i will watch closely
