The latest NBA player to find work overseas is Nicolas Batum of the Portland Trail Blazers. Due to the NBA lockout, next season isn’t guaranteed. In fact, some league pundits think it’s unlikely. That’s why players like Nicolas Batum are making backup plans.

If there is an extended lockout, Nicolas Batum will play for a French team — SLUC Nancy. Since Nicolas Batum was born in France, it’s no surprise that he decided to join a French team.

Nicolas Batum is regarded as one of the best young small forwards in the NBA. The 22-year-old averaged 12.4 points, 4.5 rebounds and 1.5 assists last season. He shot 45.5% from the field, 34.5% from three-point range and 84.1% at the line.

Check out the NBA players going to Europe and the NBA players thinking about it.
