Everywhere I read, it says Battier is the most ready-for-NBA, most decorated,
best team player, who will have a long and fruitful NBA career. It also adds
that Battier is a very good ROLE player, not a All-Star potential or All-Defense
player, but a good solid ROLE player.

If the Lakers or Spurs were drafting, this would be a no brainer pick. One more
piece to the puzzle.

But at no.3? The buzz world is uuupppside and this wasn't mentioned anywhere
near Battier.

However, if Shane's available at #10, it would do for me.
