Offensive Game
Reliable three-point shooter with sound mechanics; not a shot creator off the dribble but finds shots effectively in catch-and-shoot and off-movement situations.

Battle is the rare three-school journeyman who got better at every stop — George Washington, Minnesota, then Ohio State, where he crossed 2,000 career points. That patience paid off in Toronto: after going undrafted in 2024, he earned a two-way deal, then a standard three-year contract by February 2025, a quick vote of confidence in his stroke. His rookie year backed it up — 7.1 points on .405 from three across 59 games, including a 24-point barrage in New Orleans. The 2025-26 season trimmed his minutes as Toronto's rotation deepened, but his role sharpened: a floor-spacer who forces defenses to close out honestly, quietly bending the math on every possession he stands in the corner. He's a legitimate rotation shooter on a full NBA contract — no longer fighting for a roster spot, but for steady minutes.
Offensive Game
Reliable three-point shooter with sound mechanics; not a shot creator off the dribble but finds shots effectively in catch-and-shoot and off-movement situations.
Defensive Game
Competitive defender who guards multiple wing positions; effort level is high and he rarely takes plays off, which makes him a trustworthy rotation option.
Intangibles
Understands his role clearly; makes smart decisions about when to shoot versus defer and positions himself well off-ball to keep the offense fluid.
