Kentucky’s low-post anchor with elite efficiency and toughness
Patrick Patterson was a highly efficient, physical forward for Kentucky, pairing reliable scoring with strong rebounding and interior defense; in 2009-10, he averaged 14.3 points and 7.4 rebounds per game, and Kentucky’s roster bio notes he finished with 1,020 career points, led the SEC with 15 double-doubles, and shot 60% from the field. He’s the kind of player who raises a team’s floor through strength, consistency, and willingness to do the hard work inside, though his game is more built on production and toughness than flashy perimeter skill.
