Good article. I hope he performs well

he's budded, time to blossom

Good stuff!

I still think the kid needs to add 15lbs of lean muscle. He has the frame to support it and it would only make him better at absorbing contact, posting up, defending heavier players like Carmelo, and Lebron.

 

[THE HCP]

Nic is the kind of player who wouldn't do well with extra weight. KG style.

 

[HailBlazers]

Agreed Nic needs to post up more, look at Lebron when he added it to his game.

I just hope he punches every Laker in the nutsack.

Batum is not LeBron James.

Look at what Magic Johnson when he added being a PG to his game!! Nic needs more PG skills, too.

 

[HailBlazers]

Wow, thank you captain obvious.

Point being, a SF with a post up game is infinintly more dynamic than one without it. Tayshaun Prince for example, Batum could definitely emmulate his game.

You just proved my point HCP. KG was skinny as a RAIL when he came into the league. He gained about 15-20 pounds of lean muscle.

And look at Nic's shoulders. They are broad enough to add that amount and it wouldn't hurt him at all. Matter of fact, it could only help him.

He gets pushed around and doesn't seek contact.
