Message: [QUOTE="Melancer46, post: 2604815, member: 1674"] For what it's worth, Battle shot under 31% from NBA range this season. Anyways, I don't blame him for chasing the money, and I'm not sure he raises his draft stock with another season in orange. I think he's always going to be a guy that scouts are skeptical of. He simply doesn't do much in terms of creating for others. He doesn't rebound. He's an okay shooter, but the hitch he has in his jumpshot doesn't seem to be going away anytime soon and it will always rub scouts the wrong way. His reliance on mid-range jumpshots will never really appeal to scouts either. He's just not that attractive of a prospect. He can potentially be a productive player in the NBA, but his skillset isn't really one that is viewed as attractive to NBA scouts right now. His best chance is probably to become a good man-to-man defender, which has a better chance of happening in the pros than it does here. [/QUOTE]
