Do you think Patrick Patterson will go in the draft next year?

Question

I haven't thought he would leave early because all throughout his freshman season he said he was here to stay at Kentucky for all four years. But this news article has really discouraged me. http://www.kentucky.com/232/story/464406.html The Wildcats need this guy. What do you think Patterson will do and how well will he be in the NCAA this year and how good do you think his NBA career will be, saying if he stays healthy. Please read this link first or the first few paragraphs if you want. Thanks in advance!

Answer 1

no and I wish never

Answer 2

Well in general, if your going to go in the first round, you should leave. Many players say they are going to stay in school but dont, see Greg Oden

Answer 3

Possible because the 2009 draft talent pool is fairly shallow, early indication shows that he is a lock in 1st round.

But is he ready for NBA? 1-2 years away in my opinion, not to mention his tweener size and lack of jumpshooting. He reminds me of an Ike Diogu (and yes Diogu is still seeking consistent minutes in the league) and the bottomline is he should be a legit rotational player.
