what's the point of having Pat Pat at RGV when the team's front court is horrific, we need to get him here and see what he can do, there is literally no 2 way players in the front court. Miller - no defense, no shotblocking, no rebounding Jefferies - Can't make a layup to save his life Chuck - we know about his shortcomings Scola - Gets abused on defense by any PF in the league Hill - gets lost too often on both offense and defense Let's see what he can do, he has potential to be a udonis haslem type. Which would help us enormously.
He is not ready. Even if he was, Rick the Ruler ain't playing no rookies or unproven players this season.
The guys we have are garbage. Patrick got in during preseason and it seemed like he brought alot of energy, shooting, offense, speed at his position, athleticism to stay with other bigs like we dont have, size. Just doesnt make sense that he isnt playing with the horrible guys getting his minutes?
Saw the video, doesn't really say anything for his game, they were give him iso faceups and iso postups, he will never do that in the NBA. If he can just make a jump shot and rebound and not get lost on defense he will already be the best big off the bench.
Morey got caught up in his stats and didnt worry about NBA player types. You dont win with slow nonathletic guys like Yao and Scola, Battier, and Martin every night. You have to have NBA level athletes like Landry was, Patrick Patterson, Ariza, and Jordan Hill sprinkled in with those non athletic stats guys. They get all of the intangibles done ironically like Battier supporters say against the other teams athletic guys. We are being out athleted every single night in the last few quarters.
Classic Rick the ***** move. He doesn't trust young talent, so he continues to play old, washed-up role players (Battier, Miller). Battier can barely run up and down the floor and he's completely inept offensively, yet the pessimistic douche-in-a-suit continues to play garbage. **** Rick. I'm tired of this prick, and his questionable rotations. If things don't change, it's time to bring in a new head-honcho.
Just because you have not seen what Patterson can do, does not mean the rest of the originzation has not seen his performance. He's not in D-League to screw with your head. It is because he is raw as a player.
Not to get off-topic but Kareem Jackson was also said to be the "most ready" NFL rookie CB. Just sayin'...
