Since coming out of the University of Kentucky, Patrick Patterson has not quite exactly lived up to his lottery pick selection. Although Patterson isn’t a superstar, he has proven he can be a quality starter or role player for the right team in the right situation. In Patterson’s upcoming second year with the Oklahoma City Thunder, the question is what role exactly will he play.
Since trading Carmelo Anthony, the Thunder now have battle for who should be at the starting power forward position. Coach Billy Donovan has to decide whether to start Patterson or Jerami Grant.
