Tyus Battle

[skurey]

Best player we've had since Melo

 

[Cusefan0307]

Why are we in the NIT?

 

[Ajflood12]

He looks great but why are we in the NIT if he is that good? That is a tough comparison.

 

[DeGrozz]

LOL

 

[skurey]

Because the rest of our team isn't as good as the team that won a national championship

 

[kmart128]

Next year i can see him becoming the best player since Melo. He has potential but has to improve an become a star next year

 

[Trueblue25]

Dion Waiters, Wes Johnson, Johnny Flynn...all pretty damn good

 

[Cusefan0307]

Melo is getting compared to someone who averaged 10 points a game.

 

[Jeremy L.]

I'd compare him more to Dion

Hakeem Warrick! 1st Team AA in 2005!

 

[OrangeDW]

Not yet.

If he's here long enough I think he has that kind of potential.

 

[SUFan44]

He can definitely take a Dion Waiters-type leap. He's really good.

 

[Cuse House]

I think he is our best recruit in the last 5 years.

Comparing him to Melo though, that's a bit of a stretch.

 

[JLine]

He's a beast. I won't make that leap just yet. Hoping he stays. He would be top 25 on my list already. I would take him in the lottery, honestly. Luckily, I'm not a scout, but I should be. Hah.

 

[pearl31]

really hoping he doesn't go to the combine and get evaluated

Like Waiters and Flynn...I truly think Battle does have the potential to make a huge rise in NBA draft stock as a sophomore. This isn't a "if you get a crack at the first round you gotta go because it may never happen again" type guy in my opinion. This is a guy that has barely scratched the surface and people don't realize how good he can be.

He's the best two guard prospect we've had in my time as a fan, in my opinion.

 

[realorange]

I think as a freshman, that he has more control of his game than Dion at the same point in time. Certainly more in control of himself.
And remember that he was sick for three games in the middle of the season just as he was getting comfortable with his game.

 

[Madbiker]

On the bright side...Battle can't go for 25 in a NCAAT game in front of a dozen NBA scouts and then leave.

 

[CaptainJ]

We got Boeheimed.

Don't have the surrounding players.

You mean Fab Melo right? Even then, I'll respectfully say otherwise until possibly after next season.

 

[HoustonCuse]

On the bright side...Battle can't go for 25 in a NCAAT game in front of a dozen NBA scouts and then leave.

But if NBA scouts really need that to evaluate a guy, they are dumber than I thought. I think Battle is in his last season with us.

lol Next head?

I like him a lot and he looks like a stud...but we didn't ask for a national championship. We couldn't even get in the tourney.
