Nicolas Batum's ceiling is Eddie Jones?
I was just thinking that both being adept with defense and have the ability to play above the rim and without the bal, is that a fair ceiling for Batum? Being not quite a superstar but a star season here and there.

Not unreasonable. Jones was an All-Star and a very serviceable starter. EJ isn't the first comparison I would make with Batum, but as far as being a stellar defender and capable offensive player, just short of stardom, then it's a decent fit.

I don't see him getting that good. Eddie Jones was 20/5/4/3 at his best, and his averages hovered around 17/4/3/2 in his prime. I see Nic Batum, at best like a 16/6/2/1.5 player.

I see Batum as more of a Rudy Gay without as much scoring.

No where close to Eddie Jones's level.
