Message: [QUOTE="RF2044, post: 1858672, member: 40"] Impossible to know for sure, but I'm preparing for that eventuality given how one-and-dones seem to work out in our "favor." Also, I think that Battle is a transcendent offensive talent, with the size / versatility that is tailor made to be an NBA shooting guard in today's game. Now, there are a variety of reasons why he might stay in school--maybe he doesn't have quite a big enough year to warrant declaring, maybe he's like Lydon and enjoys the college experience and isn't in such a hurry to go pro, etc. :noidea: But I'm expecting that Battle will quickly emerge as one of our better players and be in contention to make the jump at the end of the season. Would love to have him around for year 2, but expecting him to go if he's a lottery pick projection [I'd rate the odds of that as pretty high]. Especially if we have a big year and make another deep NCAA tourney run. [/QUOTE]
