And isn't John Riek still in high school? He is 5th on the 2008 Rivals ranking.
February 5, 200818 yr He is good, but he is NOT a top 20 pick, he was 17th in his CLASS. Add up the seniors, Juniors, Sophomores, and overseas guy that will declare also, he is no going to be a top 20 pick after his first year, maybe low 2nd round. Stay for 2 or 3 years, and maybe top 20 then. He was 17th in his class after his season year in HS. Now that he's played a half a season, I think his stock has jumped majorly. I think he's definately a top 10 freshman this year. I think the Gordan kid from Indiana is just amazing, he's my #1.
February 19, 200818 yr Where is Patterson going to play in the NBA? He won't be playing with his back to the basket. He is not big enough. I don't think he has a good enough shot to play a 4. He needs to get physically stronger. I know that sounds weird but look at those guys in the NBA. That IMO
February 25, 200818 yr Patterson reminds me a lot of Larry Johnson the ex-UNLV and NBA player. PP will be ok when he decides to come out he is a great young talent.

February 28, 200818 yr You might be right, but "Big" Ben Wallace is only 6'9" 240, PP is 6'8" 232. I don't think Ben Wallace is 6'9", he is more like 6'6" not much taller than Chuck Hayes!
March 1, 200818 yr Patterson reminds me a lot of Larry Johnson the ex-UNLV and NBA player. PP will be ok when he decides to come out he is a great young talent. Good comparison. Patrick Patterson is several inches taller. Larry Johnson had much more range on his jump shot.
March 1, 200818 yr I don't think Ben Wallace is 6'9", he is more like 6'6" not much taller than Chuck Hayes! Ben Wallace is 6'9" nearly 4 inches taller than Chuck Hayes.
