What do you expect from Batum

[illmatic99]

I expect Nic's career to progress like Prince's did in his second year, maybe scoring a bit less. Here's an interesting comparison of rookie years for players I see as similar to Batum: http://www.basketball-reference.com/fc/tiny.cgi?id=NPL1Y

I expect him to back up Webster.

I sure hope so. But I'm a little worried that Nate's dedication to Outlaw will push Batum out of the rotation all together.

I'm really looking forward to a lineup next year of Roy at PG, Webs at SG, Batum at SF, LMA at PF and GO at C. That is a BIG lineup. It would be fun to at least try in the second quarter of a game.

That might be interesting. But I don't see enough ball handling in that unit. If you substituted Rudy for Batum, I'd be all over that lineup.
