I've said it before and I'll say it again...I think Patterson is the odd guard out


If there's any odd guard out, it's gray, not Patterson.

Patterson can absolutely play PG, especially if you have Quarterman and/or Simmons on the floor. He doesnt create much but he is very good at not turning the ball over which is much better than what you can say about Gray being a turnover machine (counting all his blocked shots because those are basically turnovers being extremely poor shot selection).

Plus, Patterson is a shooter...

I think the reason Patterson hasn't been a real big force in this trip has a lot to do with the shot clock. He is our calming PG. He is able to keep things under control and play thru the offense.

With the 24 second clock, we are basically just running a bunch of fast breaks.

That doesn't really play to what Patterson brings us. I think he will have an impact come November.

Well I guess we will see then, won't we. I love the gray turnover problems, he had an inconsistent year. He had games where he only had a few and some games where he had many, but who cares about stats. He had the ball twice as much as everyone else and is asked to push the pace. He was widely used as a scapegoat by the fan base because of the expectations placed on him. Also, Patterson is 0/6 in Aussieland from 3 and has more turnovers than assists.

I love JP, but to say he can absolutely play PG when he didn't last year except for maybe once or twice is absurd. And he's not playing well in Australia partly because he has to play PG. He never played PG in HS or so far in college, but let's just blindly say he can play PG because he's 6 feet tall.
