23-year old power forward Patrick Patterson is stuck behind Jason Thompson, so he has seen a huge drop in P.T. after coming to the Kings. Patterson has played in 8 games (0 starts) for the Kings so far this year and he is averaging 18.3 minutes, 6.9 points, 3.9 rebounds and 0.9 assists per game. He has now played in 55 games (38 starts) overall this year for the Rockets and Kings in which he is averaging 24.8 minutes, 10.9 points, 4.6 rebounds and 1.1 assists per game. I don’t see Patterson getting a bump in P.T. any time soon for the Kings, so he needs to make sure that he makes the most of the minutes he does get.
