NCCU’s steady, high-usage guard and former MEAC Player of the Year
Patrick Cole is best known as a proven on-ball creator who powered North Carolina Central’s 2016-17 title run, finishing his NCCU career with 981 points, 17.2 points per game, and a first-in-the-modern-era NCCU triple-double, while earning 2016-17 MEAC Player of the Year honors.[2][6][11][13] He brings shot-creation, playmaking, and big-game leadership more than pure efficiency, with career marks of 10.3 points, 2.8 rebounds, and 2.2 assists per game overall and a career 32.5% field-goal rate, so he fits best as a competitive lead guard who can carry responsibility and set a tone.[1][2][16]
