<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'>"There is an issue with Batum, and nothing is clear," his agent, Bouna Ndiaye, told ESPN.com on Friday afternoon. "The number [the score on his stress echo test] could be a borderline problem if he had a family history of heart problems. But I talked to Nicolas's mother and she said his father didn't die of a heart problem. His team in France and the French national team test him regularly and said they've never seen any indication that he had a heart issue." A Sports Illustrated report in February said that Batum's father, Henry, suffered a "massive heart attack" and died at the free throw line while playing pro basketball in France when Nicolas was 2 years old. According to Ndiaye, Batum's father died of an aneurysm, not a heart attack.</div> http://sports.espn.go.com/nba/draft2008/ne...tory?id=3454367 I'd rather not take the risk.

I like the bigs who will be at 21 a lot, but who the hell am I kidding, I wanted this guy at 10 a couple months ago. I'm not angry if we roll the dice on him at 21
thats what im talking about Batum is good what does danilo do better that him? I mean if we can get the same type of player 10 or 12 picks later why not, and grab the best big early

If his heart condition isn't an overbearing issue, the NETS should definitely look at this guy. I have seen him and he can play. And remember, earlier this year he was supposed to go where Gallinari is supposedly going to go now. Which means the talent is there.

i dont even want danilo... id rather have gordon or westbrook or trade the pick to get rid of hassel's contract and get jack in return than if brook is avail at #13 then its ok

Honestly asking since you have actually seen him play unlike me.
