Message: [QUOTE="iommi, post: 2068260, member: 249"] It's so odd with Battle and his defense. I will say that sometimes he plays absolutely terrific defense up there. The odd thing is he was an absolute terror on defense in high school- one of the best on-ball defenders I've seen in person. When guys dribble in his zone area, he still harasses then well and shows what he's capable of but he's not great at closing out at shooters. I don't know if it's not being good in the zone with his positioning or what. It's like he doesn't want to close because he doesn't want to foul 3-pt shooters. [/QUOTE]
