The Philadelphia 76ers ink Tony Battie
The Philadelphia 76ers have signed 34-year old center Tony Battie to a contract. Details weren’t available yet. Battie played in 15 games (0 starts) for the Nets last season and he averaged 8.9 minutes, 2.4 points, 1.5 rebounds and 0.2 assists per game. He has now played in 772 games (418 starts) in his NBA career and he has averaged 22.0 minutes, 6.4 points, 5.3 rebounds and 0.6 assists per game. Battie will likely give the Sixers 10-15 solid minutes per game in 2010-11.
Tony Battie will help them coming off the bench and boost some energy in Philadelphia 76ers starting lineup. He is a veteran that can help them inside and outside through perimeter shooting. 10-15 solid minutes per game could give sixers off the bench points.
I agree with you about Battie. If he can give them 10-15 solid minutes in 2010-11 he will be a solid asset for the team.
