Despite starting less often than his first three seasons with the team, he averaged career-highs in points (13.9), rebounds (4.6), treys made (1.8), blocks (1.0), and steals (1.0) in only 30.4 minutes of play. As his restricted free agency approaches this summer, Batum is expected to receive a number of offer sheets from savvy clubs looking to add his unique two-way game to their squads. However, he has the feeling from Blazers brass that there's a \"99 percent\" chance the team will match any bid that comes his way, according to the team's official site. With his name firmly slotted into the starting lineup going forward, expect the 23-year-old Batum to continue his evolution and fulfill the vast potential he has previously flashed, becoming a fantasy stalwart as a result.","date":"Sun Apr 29"},"fullName":"Nicolas Batum","seasonOutlook":{"outlook":"Still just 22 years of age, Batum struggled with inconsistency but showed plenty of promise in his third season as a pro. After finishing last season with 12.4 points, 4.5 rebounds, 0.9 steals and 1.5 3-pointers, the versatile swingman could earn a starting gig if the Blazers go small, but may also come off the bench as a sixth man. Batum is a potential rising star in the league, and he will be a fantasy force one day if he continues to improve the way he has during his first three seasons. Give him a look in the mid-to-late rounds and do not be surprised if he breaks out in 2011-12.","seasonId":2012,"date":"Wed Nov 30"},"playerRater30DAY":4.4,"playerRater15DAY":-1.7,"positionRank":7}
