Third Quarter Collapse, the Magic fansite, evaluates Tony Battie's season this way: "He earned $5.746 million, but produced at a less-than-stellar rate." That doesn't mean he's not a valuable backup: "Battie's job with Orlando was to spread the floor with his reasonably accurate mid-range jumper; initiate offense from the high post; give opposing big-men grief defensively; and rebound", all of which he did "capably".
