    Such an interesting player.

    I can't figure out what type of player he is, or wants to be, but I like what I see...

    Ew, not too good...maybe he was drafted too high? Never had too much expectations for him but hopefully he becomes serviceable.

    Seems to be like another Othella Harrington.

    From that video Patterson did not look too good. Not enough aggression. He got manhandled a bit. That would only get amplified at the NBA level. It's a good time to get experience. He looks like he has some potential but he's not close to NBA ready yet.

    Come on now. It's his first game.

    In case you can't see it........................

    He is LIGHT YEARS ahead of Jordan Hill........right now.


    Prediction:

    After the trade deadline, Patterson will get rotation minutes this season for the Rockets.

    I was pleasantly surprised to catch this game on versus while channel surfing. Patpat had some bright spots. I especially enjoyed how he moved his feet on defense. What impressed me was the guard play of Ruby (sp?) and the freakish physical specimen named Gladness. He was raw and maybe not much bigger than 7 feet but his wingspan looked like about 10 feet!

    Well, looks like we found our Joey Dorsey replacement...


    Seriously, I hope he has more to show than that in a few weeks. That was seriously uninspiring.

    I saw that game and PatPat was a fouling machine, some of the undrafted players looked more impressive than he did. But than again their fighting to get into the league, while Patterson already has a roster spot. So lesser talent out playing him should be to surprising... sigh

    I was the game and Sullivan had a bette showing, here is hoping the time spent down here in the RGV will get Patterson going. Can you get a video highlights on Roby for the Vipers, this guy should be given a chance to play for the team. He looks like he will get a call from some team before the season is done.

    Thanks for the upload, Clutch. Hope you or someone can do this for the rest of Patterson's D-league games.

    It's hard to make out what his niche will be in the NBA. He seems to do everything well, but nothing great.

    Reece Gaines is alive!

    He represents the equivalent of every other rockets player in the nbdl. He looks outta place and trying to hard just like Yao Ming and co.
