Nicolas Batum, the Portland Trail Blazers' Mr. Everything
Inconsistent or not, the team is Infinitely better with him on the court. And at only 24 one has to think his game is still growing.

Nicolas Batum, the Portland Trail Blazers' Mr. Everything
Lillard and LaMarcus Aldridge make most of the headlines for the Blazers. The reigning Rookie of the Year had 25 points and eight assists in the 118-110 win, the all-star power forward 25 and 11 rebounds. The less decorated Batum, though, was as important as either of them.
"He was huge for us," Lillard said. "He made shots early, he made shots late. He defended Rudy, he defended DeMar [DeRozan], he defended Kyle Lowry. He was all over the place."
Batum ties the team together. He's a supercharged glue guy, asked to guard the opponent's best player in crunch time, rebound and make plays for himself and his teammates.
"He's Mr. Everything," Lillard said.
