Re: Rogers for Battie

Battie has a chance of being better than Marcus. He can use his speed to be
very troublesome and I would imagine he's hitting the weights this summer.
Camby got most of his points from the soft defense Indy played on him. He
slithered through for put backs while not being blocked out. Battie has a
nice jumper besides his athleticism. I see him as a bench player though,
giving us a boost to the second unit.
