I just caught a quarter of Lithuania vs. France, and Batum looks great. As soon as I tuned in, he had several great scoring plays, and on two separate occassions that I can remember, he initiated the offense, with Parker playing off the ball.
I don't think that France has had a single point off the bench though, which is weird because of all the NBA talent they have off the bench.
(BTW, does anyone remember Lithuania's Martynas Pocius from Duke? I'm not sure if that many of you follow college hoops, but that's my first love over the NBA, and Pocius had one of the single most disappointing NCAA careers for an international prospect. I remember seeing him in live in high school, at the Nike Hoops Summit in Memphis, and I thought he'd be destined for an NBA career. He posted 20 pts in 25 min against a backcourt that featured Lou Williams, Monta Ellis, Brandon Rush, and well, Martell Webster. Pocius was very athletic with great scoring instincts, so I figured Duke could piece the rest together for him, but he never cracked Duke's rotation. In his best season, he posted 4 ppg and 2 rpg in 8 mpg. He seems to have found a groove in international play though and is currently scoring at will against France.)

Batum just got fouled hard, hit the ground, and didn't move for about a minute. The environment became tense, as Batum's body language seemed to indicate a potentially serious injury.
However, after a good sulk(/acting job), he got up emphatically, seemingly unharmed, and got boo'ed by the London crowd. Furthermore, the replayed foul was light, and the imapct was moreso caused by his own momentum.
Fucking European basketball...
