September 13, 200719 yr YES!! I have seen him play several times now and IMO I think he is atleast a 3 year player. He reminds me a little bit of a Tyler Hansborough in the sense that he is a great college player, but is not as good of an NBA prospect as his college play will show.
September 13, 200719 yr Yes. WIthout question. He will be at UK for at least 3 years and he could very well be a 4 year player.
September 13, 200719 yr I will wait to see him play against Div. 1 competition before I make a prediction like that. But I will never say a player will stay for 3 years the way they jump to the NBA. It would be better for most to stay that long but they all don't do that.

A little bit on the high side, you think? He reminds me of Jason Parker. Should stay at least 2.
September 13, 200719 yr I think he will stay 3 and probably 4 years.He is a smart kid and wants to get his education along with playing ball.
September 13, 200719 yr Tyler Hansborough. WOW! A little bit on the high side, you think? I can see Hansbrough.
September 13, 200719 yr Tyler Hansborough. WOW! A little bit on the high side, you think? He reminds me of Jason Parker. Should stay at least 2. Wow, I sure hope so! but without his first collegiate game under his belt, I agree with pldgreat.
September 13, 200719 yr Leaving early, is often the downfall of many young players. Only so many slots in the NBA. Adjusting to college competition, will be a challenge for anyone. Be anxious to see, how he does.
September 13, 200719 yr I'll wait to pass judgement once I actually see him on the court but from what I've read he's very raw on offense, and that doesn't bode well for early entry.
September 13, 200719 yr Tyler Hansborough. WOW! A little bit on the high side, you think? He reminds me of Jason Parker. Should stay at least 2. You misunderstood me. I was using Hansborough as an example of someone who is very valuable in college, but does not have great pro value. I don't think Patterson is going to be the nex Jamal Mashburn or anything like that. I go think he is a player at a position UK desperately needed a guy like him. I worry about the lofty expectations placed on his shoulders right now.
