Hard work pays off. Good for him!

I've enjoyed seeing his journey to the NBA much more than the previous few former Pitt players. Coach Dixon should point to him as what a Pitt recruit should strive for.

he looks like he intends to stay in the NBA for a long time.

Yeah, and we had "experts" here arguing how dumb Dixon was for playing Lamar instead of JJ Moore.

Yeah, and we had "experts" here arguing how dumb Dixon was for playing Lamar instead of JJ Moore.

The same "experts" think Micah Mason would be a starter at Pitt.

Ha. Coming into Pitt J.J. Moore looked like a real player. He got out on the court and for every impressive 3 he drilled, he threw up numerous bad shots. Patterson was not all that great early in his career but was a typical Pitt player, improve every year. There's a reason Dixon is the head coach and we all do whatever we do with our lives. He could clearly tell Patterson was the best option for us, and to be honest it was very, very clear that was the case. J.J. Moore showed flashes of a really good player, but essentially was pretty much a bust at Pitt.

D. Blair-hardly plays
S. Adams-24 min a game
Some others-
Sam Young-Dominican?
Gilbert Brown-Israel?
Ashton Gibbs-Austria?

It's sad that the Mavs got rid of Blair as he had a decent postseason with them 2 or 3 years ago. Too bad he isn't getting more playing time.

Glad to see that Patterson is getting good minutes on a good team. Was a good player for Pitt, especially his senior year.
