I have watched a few Blazers games and they would be morons if they did not resign Batum. This kid can be a beast. His perminute numbers are allstar calibar. He can do it all. Shoots well from beyond the arc, rebounds, plays D, blocks shots. He can play SF, or SG. He would be a perfect player to sign and build around. He would not cost the max but could perform like a max player. He's not as good a shooter as Ray but at 40% for 3's that's pretty [dang] good. In 24 minutes he's avg 11pts, 4bds, 1ast, .6stl, .8blk, 1.3 -3pt 84.4%FT and 43.1%FG, His stats at 36min are 16.5pts, 6bds, 1.5 ast, 1stl, 1.2blk 1.9-3pt. This is on a team with Wes Matthews, Gerald Wallace, Aldridge, Jamal Crawford, and Felton. Shots are hard to come by but Batum produces. He would be a sneaky pickup. He's only 23yrs old too. If the C's could sign him and a max player they could be set. If it came down to Batum and Green I'd rather have Batum. I think with a starting role he could be a star.
