Batista

[Peter Delevett]

Hard to quibble with Danny's moves so far this season,
but I sorta woulda liked to have seen Ainge keep this
kid around rather than keeping only 14 players.
Maccabi's a really good overseas team, so it's not
like he's playing for the Fighting Ben Peppers. 


"Since getting additional playing time, Batista has
demonstrated soft hands, good rebounding skills and a
fine sense for placing himself around the basket. ... 
"Esteban is a skilled player, one of the best
rebounders I've seen in a while, and I only expect him
to get better," said Katash. "Once he becomes more
accustomed to the Euroleague, he could become one of
the league's best players within a year or two."
