I'd have to agree. You need a pretty good sample of players who've played in the one league and then the next to come up with a significant prediction.
For what I know, Batum numbers in the French league are similar with TP's number during is last season, and better than Diaw's numbers... With an analysis of these numbers (instead of the Euroleague one's) Hollinger would probably conclude Batum is a future borderline All-Star.

Batum Pro A numbers per 40 minutes: 16.5 pts 6.8 rbds 5.5 ast shooting 59% 2Pt% and 35 3pt% 74FT% 1.3 stl 1.3 blk The pro A is not a strong league but it is pro ball... with these numbers Batum would probably be a PER wonder.
Hollinger should realise how compe ive is the Euroleague and that most player in the draft would barely play in this league and that even less would be able to put decent numbers against Euroleague defenses.

SPURS should take BATUM if he's still available in #26...
Toronto was often speculated as a likely landing spot for Batum. If the trade with Indy goes down DX speculates on Indy taking a big man with that pick. Could help Batum slide to the Spurs.
ruh-roh
looks like the physical that Batum's agent promised to send out the past morning to teams never got sent.
DraftExpress speculates that the Spurs promised Batum to take him at 26.
... Batum traveled to San Antonio immediately after and was supposed to work out for Cleveland today. Some teams openly are wondering whether San Antonio gave Batum a promise and asked him to not distribute his physical around the league, which would make him very likely to slip to 26. . . . He appears to be fully healthy, but it appears that only the Spurs and the Cavs currently have his physical. Multiple calls to Batum’s agent Bouna Ndiaye were not returned.
maybe I'm beating a dead horse, but i think it's worth repeating that Batum's agent Ndiaye has played ball with the Spurs before, hiding Mahinmi from other NBA teams.
hoepfully batum is playing "weak" on purpose so he can fall to the spurs =)

Imagine that.
That is some filthy CIA 'ish, lmao............
Do you think he would be able to come in and get any minutes, or is he more primed for the Toro's
RC once used that same formula . . .
Why are my eyes burning...
I think many would be happy with Batum at 26.

IMHO a year with the toros.
Wonder if his agent is any relation to the player.
An unselfish defensive minded small forward.
Sounds interesting.
Goddam this is just like Xmas.
I'm wondering if there is any grainy drunken Frenchmen filming video fo batum playing over there.
If Spurs take him, give him some playing time next season. We can't wait 1-2 years to get younger! Put our second rounders on the Toros.
Those are some horrible videos.
One just shows him freaking passing off to shooters
Thanks for the videos though I apreciate it!!
are we better off drafting this guy
or takn a look at the available FA's? at that positon....

That's sort of what I thought... those are the highlight reels? I couldn't find any grainy, drunk, French video. (Not of basketball, anyway.) I looked in some places where I sometimes find buried clips, but the cupboard was pretty bare. Then again, he only averaged 8.5 ppg in the Euros. The camera probably wasn't following him a lot.
