Yeah we need guards. Obviously if you can get an elite wing/forward you don't say no but like you said we already have some good pieces there.

Battle began the year with foot surgery in October. Sat out the first 4 games of the season recovering from that. Then sustained a back injury in early January. Tough year with injuries.

Sounds like he wants a bag though. Not sure we're a fit.
If he wants a bag and we have limited resources, this seems like an easy pass as we need a combo guard FAR more

I dont think this can be taken as a bad sign...

Trying to do some digging and find some highlights, came across this:



Like his length, over 80% from the line back to back years and has gotten better from deep his entire career. ESPN has him listed as a Soph. even though his first year was 19-20, seems like a redshirt AND a medical redshirt maybe? Regardless, at first glance like this kid. A history of not just hitting big shots but being THE guy in that moment for a team is a good sign to me.

Staff is certainly casting a wide net
I take the player-self-reported lists with a grain of salt. I do think that you're right, though. There's a huge need for a specific kind of guy, you may as well reach out to guys who might fit the bill, even if it's a longshot on one side or the other.
