Battle was second for the Gophers with 12.4 points per game last season. However, he averaged 15.1 points per game across 56 starts in 2 seasons for Minnesota.
For his 4-year career, Battle has career averages of 14.4 points, 5.2 rebounds, 1 assist and is a career 35% shooter from 3-point range. He also shoots 42% from the floor and 79% from the free-throw line.
Potential fits for Battle
With a 6-foot-7 frame, versatile scoring ability and an effective southpaw shooting stroke, Battle will be a fit for almost any program. It will be interesting to see which program rises to the top if he is indeed interested in staying in the B1G.
