Nicolas Batum: Scores 10 in preseason opener

Batum is coming off a career high 15.1 points per game last season while
shooting 40.3 percent from the field and 33.3 percent from behind the arc, both
of which are below his career averages. If Batum is able to score at his usual
efficiency, paired with his ability to collect rebounds and assists, the
versatile Frenchman could improve on what was an impressive 2016-17 campaign.
