Proven St. John’s guard with scoring punch and starter-level experience
Patterson is an experienced St. John’s guard who showed real primary-option production in his Red Storm run, averaging 10.4 points and 3.7 rebounds per game while starting 27 of 31 games in 2006-07. He brings a scorer’s mentality and enough size to hold up on the wing, with the kind of game that suggests he can be trusted in bigger moments after multiple 20-point outings. The main appeal is reliability and shot-making; the downside is that his efficiency was modest, so he fits best with a team that needs a tough, attack-minded guard rather than a pure creator.
