A more concrete timetable will likely be set once Batum goes through true
five-on-five pickup games in practice, though he appears to be progressing well
in his recovery. His eventual return will probably mean a smaller role for the
likes of Jeremy Lamb and Dwayne Bacon. Batum is certainly a quality fantasy
option in a variety of formats due to his all-around production, as he posted
15.1 points, 6.2 rebounds, 5.9 assists, 1.8 threes and 1.1 steals per contest
last season.
