Re:Battie and brother




I'm not sure if this is right.. (I thought his name was spelled Derek?)

Derrick Battie
DOB: July 17th, '74
Pos: PF/C
Height: 6"9
Weight: 230lbs (Only has stats for him up to 96-97. So I'm assuming the page 
is old and that's why he's only listed on here as 230lbs)
University: Temple
95/96 Temple 10pts 7brds 58.4%fgs 55%fts 
96/97 Italy (team Caserta) 14.9pts 9.8brds 59.7%fgs 48%fts 44.4% 3pt

Below is what they had to say about him... (keep in mind that the guy who 
wrote this is a foreigner)

"Derrick has a very big potential. He realized a great season in Italy. Very 
good rebounder, excellent block
shooter. Derrick can hit the 3 or dunk in you face. Greaat player who is a 
great teammate. Very coachable.
Runs very well on the court has a very good vision of the game. Had good 
stats in Italy but had Kareem
Townes in his team who had always the ball. TF"

WoW. Those foreign guys really know how to sell there players, huh? Let's 
sign Derrick to play in our team. He will blocks lots of peoples shoots! I 
just hope he doesn't have a problem with Antoine always the ball getting.
