    Every time I read that story it makes me cry.

    There's another one where he's become friends with a little girl and her family. She's got short little blond pigtails and I guess she's like 4 years old now.

    Patrick is quality people.


    edit: here's the other story... http://kentuckysportsradio.com/?p=35817

    This was like the perfect draft pick. Great job Daryl Morey and company, well played...

    The guy is nails. I mean good. Gonna be money on this team and have a solid career. Why did teams pass him up? He could have went higher and should have. I am glad they let him slip to us. :)

    Top notch bloke. After reading that article I hold him in high regard. More articles like this need to be written about the great off court NBA players.

    Patterson is going to be Landry 2.0, he is going to be a great addition to this team.

    Certainly a welcomed addition

    This kid has a very nice character. Also he has more teeth than Landry. Good pick.

    I was very much against this pick as we were picking into an area of huge strength as we have good power forwards. However, I did not know so much about him I saw him as a good sized power forward. I did not know about his range, his heart, his head. This is a guy who is going to give us heart. Give us heady plays and will compete on both ends. I guess this is why I am not a professional scout.

    He said, "Whatever the coaching staff wants." lots of people say that. But he has the track record. He was more of a star before the current class then became a role player doing whatever he was told.

    Welcome to the Rockets Patrick.
