Most 20-year-old players aren’t all that excited about development.
Wolves rookie big man Justin Patton isn’t most 20-year-old players.
At the NBA Combine, he said how much he was looking forward to improving his game.
“I’ve been getting good feedback,” Patton said in Chicago during the combine. “One thing I’m looking forward to is developing.”
And that seems like it’s just a thing young players say to impress. But that’s before you look at Patton’s path to the NBA.
Patton redshirted his first year at Creighton after not being heavily recruited out of high school.
