Esteban Batista?
Quote:
|
The agent for Atlanta Hawks free forward-center Esteban Batista said late tonight that his client has declined an offer to sign with the Celtics. Agent Marc Cornstien said this afternoon that the Celtics, Charlotte, Phoenix and Indiana had made contract offers to the 6-foot-10, 270-pounder. While Cornstien said via text message Wednesday night that Batista had turned down Boston, he didn't say why and wouldn't say where his client was leaning now. The Uruguay native played sparingly for Atlanta last season, but averaged a tournament-best 12.4 rebounds and 20.8 points during the recent FIBA Americas Championship in Las Vegas.

He averaged 2 points and 2 rebounds in 6 mpg during 13 Hawk games last season. He doesn't seem very good, but this team does need another big man.

Re: Esteban Batista?
I want him. He was great in the FIBA Americas. If he can bring any of that to the NBA, then he should be alright.

Re: Esteban Batista?
Well, I still don't know why Hawks hasn't played him while used players like Sasha Medvedenko and Lorenzen Wright...
