Message: [QUOTE="RF2044, post: 1858699, member: 40"] Mali shot 35% from three point range and just 36% overall, but was considered a knockdown shooter. Battle absolutely is the current model for an NBA SG--a versatile scorer with size / athleticism who can put it on the floor and create as well as hit shots. He just needs to prove that he can connect from deep at a reasonable rate, which hopefully he'll be able to do. He won't be asked to shoulder the load in that regard--as Lydon / White / Gillon have all shot very well from three at the collegiate level, which will enable Battle to be more of a complimentary shooting threat instead of a guy we're relying upon to produce from three.
