watching him play, he looks fundamentally sound if that makes sense. he definitely needs more playing time.
Thanks, lets go with it (while it lasts) "Patsquatch" is shooting a rookie season Carl Landry-like 68.5% from the field. (Carl Landry's 1st January he shot 72.5%) Unlike Landry he's doing it on jumpshots so he's not going to keep that up, though I'm liking the similarity in production. But unlike Landry as A GOOD THING, Patterson will try to at least fake like he'll make a defensive stop. While we have a "ScolPatty" 22 game win streak coming up?

Did you guys notice how our players are actually looking for him now? Every pick and pop we are searching him out for those midrange jumpers. PATSQUATCH!
I think it's a good thing he already has a developed and reliable jumpshot. The inside game could be improved upon over time, but confidence, skills and concentration are best demonstrated with the jumpshot. PPat is shooting great, his confidence is solid, and it's only a matter of time before he chooses to dominate down low.
Patsquatch needs to team up with Greg Monroe to create our smart, efficient, skilled, dominant frontcourt for the next 15 years.
