For all the negative comments, disrespect and criticism Patrick Patterson has received this season, the veteran appears to be trending in the right direction. Originally acquired to be a three and D specialist at the power forward position, PPat’s inconsistency shooting the rock has been an issue all season.
However, the 29-year-old is beginning to find the range from downtown.
After shooting 38.2 percent from distance in October, Pat struggled mightily in November and December converting on a horrible 28.8 percent of his attempts from deep. While he entered the season the healthiest he’s been since the 2016-17 season, Patterson lacked confidence in his shot clanging everything he threw up at the rim.
