Toronto Raptors’ Patrick Patterson finds the right fit with new team | National Post
“Smooth. Easy. Real comfortable, to say the least,” Patterson said of fitting in with the Raptors, despite being so new to the city that he is still living in a hotel. “I know the guys. I’m already comfortable with them, had previous relationships with them. Also when you have a great coaching staff, and a couple guys I’d been around previously on the staff [during his days with Houston], and [Dwane Casey] is a Kentucky guy, you can’t beat that.”

Patterson’s fit like a glove since being acquired from Sacramento in the Rudy Gay deal about a month ago, becoming Dwane Casey’s first choice big man off of the bench thanks to his defensive positioning, smarts, rebounding and ability to stretch the floor with his shooting. Initially regarded as just one of the pieces in the package coming over from the Kings, Patterson, a restricted free agent this summer, has emerged as the main return and the most intriguing long-term piece for the franchise.

Toronto Raptors vs Milwaukee Bucks – 3 Keys to establish the winning mentality | Raptors Rapture
The Bucks are currently the worst team in the NBA.Their stats are revealing: 29th in points, and 25th in rebounds, per game. An overtime record of 1-4 is damaging. Despite acquiring solid players like O.J. Mayo, Gary Neal and Brandon Knight during the off-season, to make their second consecutive playoff trip, their strategy now is to lose now and get a high lottery pick, a.k.a “tanking”, and evaluate their youth.
So is Terrence Ross Now a SF? | RealGM
n this team’s setup, yes. He’s also probably the only SF in the league who doesn’t weigh 200lbs, so I’m still not sure about his future at the 3.
