Message: [QUOTE="SUFan44, post: 1649338, member: 39"] Actually don't think Dion Waiters is a very good comparison at all, to be honest. Athletically and ability wise, yes they are both very athletically gifted and can do a number of things. But Battle is much more of a pass-first, make the right play kind of guy. Which is why he can absolutely come in and start as a lead guard/point guard, whatever you want to call it. He also has a much quicker first step and is much faster with the ball than Gbinije, which will be a huge help for him going against shorter, peskier guards. There will be rough patches as there always are with freshmen. But Battle can absolutely come in and run our sets if he's up to that task mentally (knowing where everyone should be, what the plays are, etc.). And he's going to need to. [/QUOTE]
