McHale stretching him out to 3 land had messed up his sweet mid-range game. He has never been a power player, though he did have some real explosiveness. He should always have been used as a pick and pop 4, and someone who could run during a fast break and finish strong. The way coaches use players can make them great, or ruin their game. Patterson was injured for McHale last year, so he played inside, when he is a finesse player as he was rehabbing. This year he is being used as a stretch player, also not his strong point.
It's been one draft day failure after another for Morey. Drafting bust Patterson one pick before the Bucks selected 6'11" Larry Sanders a good rebounder (8.5 rpg) who is now the NBA's leading shot blocker (3.2 bpg).
Analytics doesn't always seem to demonstrate a player's desire to improve and succeed. Nor does it take into account the flaws in the system he's playing under.
yeah, I remember that one. Also seen this one somewhere, it is frustrating that in game he is not helping out, and left his man around to block our guard, and poor Asik, his pick need to block 3 defender to be effective.
