Batum to start season opener

the few minutes he played he looked good. confident and active.

Batum was my favourite player in the draft, i want him to do well but its gonna hurt knowing we were one pick away.

No point dwelling though since he didnt get to us.

Mine too. I really regret the Spurs didn't get a crack at him. He possesses the size and skill the Spurs have lacked and longed for at the SF position. I expect him to develop into a really good player for a long time.

Looks like Nate changed his mind. He didn't start him after all.
