Patrick Patterson

His name is Pat Patterson for hell sakes. That's a bad sign if you ask me. That's like naming a son Mike or Greg.

Those parents often wonder why their children have deep seeded emotional problems and eating disorders. They're probably habitual masturbators, too.

Well ... MY name is Patrick .. and I can confirm the latter.:cool:
 
Predraft Measurements From top to bottom P Patterson, P Millsap, E Davis,
Height w/o Shoes Height w/shoes Weight Wingspan Standing Reach Body Fat
6' 8" .......................6' 9.25" ..........240 ...7' 1.25" ............8' 11" ........5.3
6' 6.25"....................6' 7.25" ..........258 ...7' 1.5" ............8' 9.5" ........9.7
6' 9"........................6' 9.75" ..........227 ...7' 0" ................9' 0" ........10.0

No Step Vert Max Vert Bench Press Lane Agility 3/4 Court Sprint Class Rank

28.5 ................32.5 .........15 ..............11.67 ........3.30 ...............38
31.0 ................36.0 .........NA ..............11.70 ........3.21 ...............NA


Coal Aldrich .........6 9" 6 11".....and standing reach is 9' 3" (max vert 28)
Lamarcus Aldridge 6 10" 6 11......and standing reach is 9' 3
Luke Babbit ..........6 7.5 6 9"......and standing reach is 8 8.75 (37.5 vertical)
Has.. Thabeet................7 2.......and standing reach is 9' 5"
Andrew Bogut................7 0.......and standing reach is 9' 3"
Udoh.............................6 9.......and standing reach is 8 10.5" (but wing span is 7 4"...)
G. Monroe.....................6 11......and standing reach is 9 0.5 (lane agility 12.3 max vert is 29)


So looking at some of these measurements we can conclude:
1. Patterson and Milsap are quite similar
2. Ed Davis appears similar but has 3" in standing reach and 4" in jump over Milsap...
3. Aldrich wears tall shoes
4. Udoh has a long neck
5. G Monroe is 6 11" but probably will play shorter (see reach, agility, -6" on leap compared to Davis)

Who is the best rebounder listed in this post? Could be Millsap... inspite of his size.

I would venture that standing reach is a better indicator of "clogging the middle" and reach+max vertical is a better indicator of your offensive physical ability.

Looking at physicals alone:
If you want a best chance for decent offense, Journeyman, Lane clogger - go with Aldrich
If you want best chance for "plays long" weak side blocks and has skills to excell offensively - Ed Davis

Add in the intangibles - work ethic, maturity, bigger body, with high likelihood of Millsap or better player, then probably patterson.

I've not see Monroe play so i'm not sure the excitement for him. Anybody recall who gets 'great' rebounder as attribute among this set of guys?

Chew on dat I tellz ya. (Practicin' in case i hafta type mo stuff for Hopper)
 
First time I try listening to KFan since the end of the season, and it's bascially turned into a Patrick Patterson-love fest.

David Locke says worst-case he's Paul Millsap. :confused:
Best-case he says a cross between Al Jefferson and Al Horford. :o

Hopefully he won't quit his day-job of being a mediocre radio guy.

I got the impression that Locke was interested in him a few days back and haven't been back to the radio since (just a matter of schedule) So it appears he onto Patterson. Therefore
1. The Jazz are darfting PP becuase Locke is an insider
2. The Jazz are not darfting PP becuase Locke is being used as the smoke screen tool
3. The Jazz are using Locke as a fishing tool to see how many people call up and ask "so you're goin' for PP?
4. The Jazz and Locke don't talk on this subject so Locke is just picking a guy to stir up radio


I'm guessing 5, but maybe the Jazz are craftier than that.
