Battier is another skilled wing forward with size who has been a feature piece for both A Wigg Elite 17u on the UAA Circuit and with Providence Day. His ability to make outside shots, play above the rim, and guard multiple positions are providing a ton of next level appeal for him. His recruitment has really picked up in the process, getting offers from Wofford, Harvard, Yale, and Belmont over the last few weeks.

Battier continues to show evolution to his game as he’s a bigger stronger athlete basically every time we see him. Coming off of a really solid showing at the NBPA Top 100 Camp, Battier showed no sign of tired legs as he finished with a game high 20 Points along with 4 Rebounds and 3 Assists in a close loss to Crossroads Christian. Battier struggled to connect from beyond the arc in this one but was a perfect 6-6 from inside the arc as he flourished in transition and exploiting mismatches in the half-court. Battier’s well rounded game, positional size, and overall buy in to his role as a go to guy for this group will shine next weekend in the live period before he returns to A Wigg Elite UAA for July.

A high IQ player with an impressive skillset, he makes a great impact on games without being a high volume player. Moves well without the ball, understands proper spacing and how to get to his spots with minimal dribbling. One of the most efficient players that we saw on the day, and never seems to get too high or too low regardless of what may be going on.

Battier was efficient, consistent, and that led to him playing a key role on a 4-0 team down in Rock Hill. In those four games, Battier averaged 8.0 Points, 2.0 Rebounds, 1.3 Assists, and 0.8 Steals per game on 61/57/75 shooting splits. Battier does an excellent job finding a way to contribute amongst other really talented players while being able to use his gifts to shine in his own way. His outside touch, feel, and size allow him to do a lot of different things for a team. He had a +/- of +50 in four games and made sure to capitalize on his touches. For being one of the lower nationally ranked kids in the camp, he certainly didn’t look it and out performed many ranked ahead of him. His performance here should build more confidence for Battier ahead of July with A Wigg Elite UAA and next season with Providence Day.

Zeke put together a very impressive showing over the weekend, averaging 17.5 PPG while consistently knocking down shots from beyond the arc. At 6’8”, he brings intriguing versatility and floor-spacing ability to the frontcourt. Can stretch the floor, create matchup problems, and is always a threat offensively when he touches the ball. Played with confidence and showed the ability to impact the game from multiple areas on the floor. If he continues performing at this level, he will undoubtedly draw attention from college coaches during the live period.

Battier does a really nice job for this A Wigg team as he possesses a truly versatile inside/out skillset with his positional size. Battier can make outside shots, push the ball in transition, and is starting to show more aggression as a slasher with this group, showcasing his above the rim capability. Battier is coming off of a really strong season at Providence Day where he played a major role on a team that enjoyed a lot of success. The lefty is a high level shot maker off the catch with the ability to attack closeouts and finish at the rim. He’s got a slick handle with a head of steam, making him difficult to contain in transition when he gets it going. Battier should be one of the most consistent producers on this A Wigg 17u team all season long and start to garner Division One traction in the process.

Battier is looking to show off his ever-improving game with A Wigg Elite UAA 17u this spring/summer. Battier’s ability to make shots at his size along with his improving off the dribble game will bode well for his stock as he ascends into this important and pivotal summer. Battier helped get his team off to a strong start at both the On The Radar Opening and Phenom Rise Showcase this past weekend. Battier’s got a very smooth game that will translate well to the eyes of college coaches due to the fact that he always stays within himself. He had a really successful season and introduction to the HoopState at Providence Day this past season and will look to carry that success into the travel ball season. With his skill, measurables, and approach to the game, Battier should line himself up to get considerable division one attention over the next few months.

Battier is a new name in North Carolina’s 2027 class and he possesses a lot of high quality traits you love to see from the mismatch forward type that he is. Battier is a true multi-positional defender with the ability to heat up from the outside, two vital abilities that next level coaches are all about. Battier is a kid that has gotten better as the season has gone along and is at his best when engaged on the glass. On top of his defensive prowess + outside touch, Battier has great body control when attacking the basket, runs the floor with consistency, and is a truly consistent above the rim finisher when presented the chance. Battier is simply a kid that is stacking good day after good day right now as he’s leading his team on a deep playoff run after finishing the season really strong. Those are the kind of kids that take major leaps in their 17u summer, add in the NBA pedigree in the bloodlines… watch this one very very closely.

Blessed with positional size and a solid all around skill set the 27′ combo forward is one to track in NC class. He checks boxes as a defender, using his long wing span to contest shots on the perimeter and move his feet well with wing and guard matchups. Offensively the lefty swing is more of a jump shooter than a slasher at this moment but looks like he isn’t done developing on that end of the floor.
