Batcho is a BIG that was efficient in 2024-25. He averaged 16.7 points, 6.4 rebounds, and 2 blocked shots per game. He was named First Team Conference USA. His DEFRTG was only 0.3 points better than the La. Tech team DEFRTG but Batcho was the Defensive Player of the Year in C-USA. Batcho had more than three turnovers for every one assist. He doesn't really shoot the three-ball (only 13 attempts in 4 seasons). He did shoot 76.1% FT this season. He played at Texas Tech for two seasons before finishing up with two years at Louisiana Tech. We do not foresee Batcho being drafted but we think he is good enough to be considered. He could potentially be a low-tier NBA starter. 

Our best advice: in 2015, Sam Dekker was drafted 18th. We advised, "draft Bobby Portis."
