MEMPHIS, Tenn. -- The Memphis Grizzlies announced a six-year
contract extension Thursday for forward Shane Battier,
a favorite with the hometown fans.
"His attributes both on and off the court epitomize what
we as an organization value and look for from our players,"
Grizzlies president Jerry West said in a statement.
Terms of the contract were not disclosed.
Battier, 6-foot8 and 220 pounds, averaged 8.5 points and
3.8 rebounds in 79 games last season.
He ranked third for the Grizzlies in three-point percentage
(.349) and steals (1.28) while leading the NBA in steals per
turnover ratio (1.80).
Battier, a team leader in college at Duke, was picked sixth
in the 2001 NBA draft to become the first player drafted by
the Grizzlies after their move from Vancouver to Memphis.
"I look forward to being an integral part of this team for
years to come, while putting forth as much effort into the
team, the organization and the community as I have since
first joining the Grizzlies," Battier said.
