LOL Shane Battier was not brought to play for the HEATLES for his rebounding
This guy averaged 3.2 RPG in 33.4 MPG in the playoffs. What you see is what you get
Show some respect to the ultimate role player

Re: Poll: Which "5th Heatle" Makes For The Best Lineup?
his string of three point performances made this a lock pick in this poll. Good thing is it seems he is still locked in on threes this season so far
1. Herro 2. Bol Bol 3. Seko 4. Bruno
unless we trade up for Barrett or trade down for PJ Washington
