I would question why the hell Nate is encouraging such physical practice play with Batum this early in him resuming contact drills. Is the coaching/training staff unfamiliar with the concept of easing people back in? That's one of the most basic tenants of injury prevention... I think I just lost what little confidence I have left in their judgement.
Jeff Pendergraph is 6'10 in shoes, has a 7'1 wingspan and an 8'11 standing reach Nicolas Batum is 6'7.75 in shoes, has a 7'1 wingspan and an 8'8.75 standing reach JP also has 20 pounds on NB. I'd call them a size apart. It's good to hear that Nic's back... he's my other favorite STOMP
