Message: [QUOTE="jncuse, post: 2229992, member: 1969"] First and foremost, I hope Battle plays to a level that ensures he is a first rounder. He still has to perform to get to that level. It would be disappointing that the only reason he came back was because he did not progress, In terms of what he does. I just want Battle to do what he thinks is right. If he thinks coming back is the right thing for him than that is great as a fan. But as a fan, I think it's unreasonable to think players should come back especially when everybody but themselves seem to prosper from their efforts. With guaranteed contracts, improving NBA development by most teams, 60 additional 2 way contracts created this offseason (which ensures low 6 figure D-League pay), additional time for training, plus pay for play, it's unfair and incorrect to blame anyone for taking the jump no matter where they are drafted..
