Kentucky star Patrick Patterson will attempt to play a different style of basketball this coming season. Of course, he’ll be facing the basket more and playing with a higher level of talent.
That should mean Patterson will not have to almost single-handedly battle opposing team’s front lines around the basket, two ESPN analysts said on a teleconference Wednesday.
“I’m anxious to see how the experiment works,” analyst Fran Fraschilla said.
Fraschilla noted how Patterson will have to adjust.
“He’ll no longer have three guys hanging ovr3 him when he posts,” Fraschilla said.
Paul Biancardi, ESPN’s director of recruiting, noted that he expects UK to run plays to get Patterson the ball in the low post and use him in pick-and-roll situations.
“They’re going to move him around the floor as much as they can,” Biancardi said. “He’s going to score from different areas of the floor.”
