UAB’s smooth-shooting, steady-wing veteran
In the 2001-02 season, Eric Batchelor stood out as a 6-7 forward who brought efficient scoring touch, reliable foul shooting, and veteran steadiness to UAB, averaging 8.5 points and 3.0 rebounds while shooting 36.6% from the field and 83.1% at the line.[2] Earlier coverage noted he had started every game during that stretch and was scoring in double figures after moving into the starting lineup, which points to a player coaches could trust for composure and timely shot-making.[7][14] He looks like the kind of wing/forward who helps spacing, competes hard, and fits best with teams that value experience and low-drama production over flashy volume.[4][7][14]
