Nicolas Batum shorted the Portland Trail Blazers and Fantasy Basketball Owners in 2014-2015. How should we view the upcoming 2015-2016 campaign?
Nicolas Batum had a less than memorable 2014-2015 Fantasy Basketball season. Outside of steals (1.1) and free throw percentage (85%) Batum fell short of his 2013-2014 output and even shorter than his 2012-2013 numbers that led him to a top ten Fantasy Basketball performer and easily a top ten pick in the 2013-2014 Fantasy Basketball season.
The 20-year-old Frenchman was a surprise starter for the Blazers last year. While he only played 18 minutes per game, Batum provided the starting unit with solid defensive play and the ability to hit an occasional three.
