Oddly the pace of the game and number of time-outs seemed to minimize him playing 39 minutes tonight. Looked great at the end of the game.
Hmm, that’s not a comparison I’m seeing but maybe the memory has faded. I don’t remember Battle as a great ball handler but man that pull up jumper was unreal. Battle also didn’t do much until his junior year -when he exploded.For the old timers out there including me, I’ve said this before but Geo reminds me of John Battle minus the incredible hops Battle had. Both were/are so clutch and heady players but the most comforting thing is that I always felt good when Battle had the ball in his hands and I feel that same way with Geo.
