I know someone posted about Patterson a while ago when he had a big game against Maryland and looked a lot like an under control Lance Stephenson with his passing and shooting etc.  I haven't seen either of these guys play, though, so how good, or bad, are they?

AJ Hammons will not make it in the NBA, plain and simple.  He's huge, not untalented, but just doesn't know how to play basketball, and/or doesn't care.  Again, he's huge, so he'll get his shot, but he's not worth considering as a future Celtic.  I haven't seen Lamar Patterson.

Patterson's become a pretty good scorer. The problem is that he's a 5th year senior. It's hard to start playing NBA ball that late. Teams like players with potential. He'll end up on some summer league team via second round or undrafted and could very well play his way into a contract. He's projected as the 55th pick in the draft over at Draft Express though.
