Batum is probably my favorite player on the team. He is always doing the right thing on the court, and no fast break layup is safe if nic is out there defensively. He is one of those players that you end up watching on the court whether he is directly involved in the play or not.

As far as fantasy goes, i think your prediction on his stats are pretty accurate. I have him scoring a just a little be less (around 13ppg) b/c the blazers rarely run any plays for him and there are other options to score the ball (roy, aldridge, hopefully oden). Nic will be a roto monster w/ his 3s/stl/blk/ and low TOs.
