French swingman Nicolas Batum, projected to be a late first-round NBA draft pick, stopped participating in a workout with the Toronto Raptors earlier this week after a stress echo test -- a treadmill test that measures the health of the heart -- came back in the "borderline" area.
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."

Since when does Weems bring any kind of defense to the court anyway?

At the risk of sounding bitter, I wasn't really intrigued with the idea of overpaying for Batum anyway. Seems to me like a player who's great to have on a good deal but wouldn't be worth the premium we'd have to pay to get him over here.
