2014 second round pick Lamar Patterson has been solid in Las Vegas, but in the same breath, hasn't done enough to impress.
I don't see it with Lamar Patterson.
Sometimes, player evaluation is that simple, even if it isn't. Patterson, who enters his second professional season after landing the Atlanta Hawks as a second round pick in 2014, performed reasonably well in Las Vegas by all accounts. For the week (seven games), the former Pittsburgh standout averaged 13.1 points (on 45.2% FG, 37.5% 3-PT), 5.1 rebounds and 3.4 assists per game. However, those numbers fall somewhat flat when using the eye test, especially against NBA competition.
