Patty O' Patterson? Can We Talk About This Guy?

I haven't checked but, I bet AJ and 2-Pat combo must have the best defensive numbers out of all the other big duos.

It would be a very small sample size...at least too small to draw immediate conclusions. But I would be interested to see if it trends in that direction.

True but, I'm more impressed with his man on man D in the post. Did you see how he took Boozer out of the game. I like I actually don't think boozer scored once on him. His strong enough to hold his position and still has the length to change the shot (7'1.25" wingspan)

Not off the top of my head, I'm sure you could find a listing of potential free agents this offseason. Or a guy buried on another team's depth chart could be targeted in trade. My concern is more that none of Johnson/Hansborough/Patterson are natural C's, so there's really nobody to mentor JV and give him pointers from a veteran's perspective. I think having such a player would be invaluable. I know Hayes could provide some of that but, since he's had to play the position far differently than traditional C's due to his size, I don't think he's ideal for JV.

I checked on the 2014 FA list and really, there is not much out there... Kaman? Mohammed? Hey, we got Magloire on the staff, I guess we are better with him mentoring JV than wasting a roster spot for an aging Mohammed or a Kaman who's frustrated to not be starting anymore and who doesn't play defence at all.

Kaman might not be a bad choice, actually. But ya, that seems like pretty slim pickings.

There's many trade proposals in that forum that include Perkins being acquired by the Raps, in an attempt to get a 1st round pick out of OKC. He's a shell of his former self, but that's an example of the type of trade that could be done to get a good backup for JV (as a secondary benefit of the trade, no less).

I think another thing needs to be acknowledged is that he has taken minutes from Hansbrough, who was playing very solid ball before PatPat came along. So clearly Casey is a fan... though that doesn't say much.

I think Psycho's shoulder's still hurt. We'll see how it plays out.

Another option would be Okafor + pick/prospect from Phoenix. Okafor would be a good defensive mentor for the rest of the season.

Exactly, and then right back to his man without missing a step.

[mcHAPPY]

Patterson is a guy I'd more than be happy to keep around if the price is right.

Shouldn't this be "...spayed or nuttered"?

he hedges. does the fake pass to shift the defense. he's got some talent. I like him and he can shoot from the outside. a lot of up vs. hansborough.

In Caseys "Small Ball" system, I'd agree Pat is the man. But in any other system, I say Hansbrough has more value to the team with the energy and hustle that he plays with.

I'd be interested in picking up Kaman. Exactly the type of Vet Center I'd want JV spending time with.
He's like a VERY rich mans Aaron Gray. Kaman WAS an All-Star in 2010.

He also, at one point, looked like this:


And this:


Basically he's the ugliest man in the NBA.

Love PPat especially his interior defence and aggressive hedges. If he continues to develop the three, he's a definite keeper.

Kaman is beyond useless
