It was against Damian College a Division 2 team.. Let’s see what he does in Maui and against ACC teams. He could be a good college player with upside, but to talk like he’s an NBA player is a little presumptuous.
They did.

Thanks for this, I searched after the game and couldn't find one!
Totally agree on the RS but just thinking they could give him a few tastes of college ball before the RS started. Sounded like Red said the other night he was available but lot of players to get in!
Redshirting Patterson concerns me. If Hima is gimpy, we’re a McLeod ankletwist away from having either Brown or Carey playing significant minutes at center, and neither is a real center. Both of those guys would be exploited like Marek was. We can’t be a good team with heavy reliance on those two at the 5.
I honestly cannot remember a year ever where we had 5 centers….and you’re concerned that we’re redshirting the 6 10 freshman who weighs about 140 lbs? I think we need to settle down here.
If the situation gets desperate, we stop redshirting Patterson.
It’s probably good to redshirt Patterson but he is not 6’10 / 140.
I don’t think we have five centers. That was the point.
Reminds me a bit of dion
MCW couldn’t shoot.
I was surprised Patterson didn’t even get a few garbage minutes.
McLeod, Hima,Carey,Brown, Patterson.
Yes, that was obviously an exaggeration. Point is the kid is an absolute rail right now. He'll get there I hope but this year he won't.
Red can un-redshirt someone at any time. When Zion was injured, Coach K burned Joey Baker's red shirt season but putting him in the game at Syracuse, which was late in the season. That meant the season counts as a real season and not a redshirt season. So if necessary, Patterson can be thrown in the fire at any time. But Patterson isn't going to be needed this year. If McLeod gets injured, I'm guessing we would be better off with 30-35 minutes of Brown, with a bit of Hima (or maybe Carey, who knows) when needed for rests and foul trouble. I hope Griff is still high on him developing into a player for us, which I think he is. Probably two years away.
I think it’s great that Patterson is redshirting. This picture sure doesn’t show a 6’10 and 140 lb player. (Carey is reported as the lightest center at 205 lbs, Patterson at 220). SU offered Patterson after his attendance at their elite camp. They know what they are getting and wanted him. Allen did a great job with Jesse but remember his first 2 years at SU he averaged just 6.9 and 8.9 minutes/game before coming into his own as a junior. Centers take time. Working with Patterson for an entire year will benefit both William and SU by bringing him along a more developed and polished center next season. Looking forward to his progress. This year, I imagine matchups could determine which of our other center candidates play. Awesome to have options.
Brown is a power forward who in certain matchups and circumstances could play center. Against Daemon, Benny played center for a while, despite not being a center too. DC is an example of a power forward playing center for us sometimes despite being a power forward. We have options now and we are being more fluid on position play. We may play 3 guards sometimes despite one being in the forward position too.
Reread my first paragraph.
